Waistband not good
I bought these hoping that they would be similar to the 4.5 inch active pursuit shorts I have. Unfortunately. they aren’t. The waistband in the 4.5 inch pair is much more comfortable and forgiving. This one is a thinner band and rolls up strange on me. I’m still undecided whether I will keep or return. Please bring back the waistband from the 4.5 inch model!!
