Great purchase
August 30, 2011

I like the fit and comfort, they are great for walking, hiking, and just wearing around town. One of the features that adds to the comfort is the elastic stretch belt that is sown into the shorts. I wish there was a hanging loop on the shorts to “tuck” the excess belt through when you are tightening the belt, so the excess would not just hang down across your crotch. I really like the diagonal design of the rear pockets for ease of retrieving a wallet and I like the 8” inseam that leaves the shorts above the knee rather than on or below the knee like a pair of basketball shorts. The material is breathable and it dries quickly. After less than a month of wearing my two new pairs, I really cannot address the durability.

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: i found the fit a bit small

Awesome shorts!

I love these shorts. I wanted some shorts for traveling and hiking in warm climates. We go hiking in the four corners area (escalante, grand canyon, moab) quite often. These are great. Wore them for 4 straight days last month in Utah, and they hardly looked worn. Highly recommend!

Great Short

This short is very comfortable and has great features. One of the best things about this short is that the design and consistency of fit has not changed year after year.

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance

Great Shorts!!

I am retired in Costa Rica and wear shorts 360 days a year. The Backcountry Shorts wears so well I've had mine for 6 years and they show little wear. I have 3 pairs...plus other cotton shorts which have worn out.

Exactly what they say is true!

This is exactly the product I was looking for! My boyfriend needed new shorts and I looked through every website and found these! They do run a little small so i recommend getting one size larger than normal. Very comfortable and fast drying material! Would recommend to anyone!

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value

comfortable and cool

very comfortable..... just wish they had put regular belt loops and not bothered with the belt they put on the shorts.

Nice shorts
