I've tried shorts from all of the major brands and these definitely stand out. Form fit and function are top notch. What I really like are the 1 in. waist sizing increments that allow you to dial in the perfect fit. It's way better than the S,M,L you typically find. It's also pretty rare to find a MTB short that is also just as functional after the ride. Having normal hand pockets in addition to the zip pockets make them great for hanging out for burgers and a beverage post-ride. Kudos Stio!
I bought a couple pairs of OPR shorts a few years ago and loved them. They quickly became my favorite shorts and bought a couple more pairs to replace my old ones. This past March, I saw they had some new colors and thought I'd expand my selection. As it turns out, Stio changed the amount of materials used which changed how they wear. The new version is too elastic. If I put my phone in my pocket, the weight of it pulls them down on that side. I have three recommendations: 1. Go back to the old "recipe" for the material amounts. 2. Improve the durability as my oldest shorts are starting to get pilling (like sweaters). 3. Come up with a different adjustable waistband mechanism. I would recommend something similar to what was used on old military uniforms. Just search for BDU Adjustable Waist Tab.
