Lightweight Trail Shorts
These shorts are my new Go-To hiking shorts. They have great pocket depth and space, and zipper/cloth over protection. These shorts can carry small necessities (smartphone, army knife, small snack) with ease. They’re made of a very lightweight but durable fabric, and although I haven’t been caught in the rain in these, they seem like they’d dry quickly. Highly recommend these for summer hikes, and just general summer/vacation shorts. That’s the other thing I really like about these shorts - they’re cute! I will pack these for warm vacation destinations - even if I don’t plan on hiking. Just walking around town, these would be great. They do run slightly large. I’m normally a M, but the Small fits great.
Frustrating belt buckle - but great for hiking
I was so excited about these shorts because the fabric is light and cooling, it has a lot of great pockets. The mesh ones on the front can fit up to 3 pickleballs in there easily, although it does make it awkward to play in. :D I love the fabric, super comfortable for hot climates and after 2 hours of activity, they were holding up great. I'm 5'5", 31" waist, 37" hip and wearing a size Medium which fit perfectly. BUT I can't stand the buckle, it was frustrating enough to drop it to a 3 star rating. You have to hit it exactly right and at the edge of where it clips into the clasp. It often takes me three tries to unbuckle it. I have a tendency to break my nails too so this makes it more frustrating for me as well.
REI Lightweight Shorts
These REI shorts were very lightweight and comfortable. My only issue was that the adjustable band around the waist could have had a little more band to expand. Since I am plus size more adjusting was needed, but they still fit and I could still do a lot of moving around in them! These shorts are great for mid-late spring, summer, and early fall. Great for hiking and just being outside in general.
