View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise these shorts for exceptional comfort, thoughtful pocket design, and flattering fit. Most highlight deep side pockets, zippered rear pockets, and snap-flap leg pockets as standout features that securely hold essentials. The lightweight, stretchy, quick-drying fabric feels soft and breathable, with a slim cut that flatters without looking boxy. Many appreciate the mid-thigh length and how the material molds to the body without wrinkling. Some find the drawstring unnecessary or hard to manage, and a few note the waistband sits higher than expected. Despite minor criticisms about snap closures and sizing inconsistencies, most customers consider these shorts excellent for hiking and everyday wear.

Not the same as your previous shorts and what happened to the 2 button trail shorts?

Enjoying my new shorts!
Glad I picked up these shorts, as they are utilitarian with the cargo pockets while looking dressy.
Great shorts to wear when I want to "dress up" a little in warm weather, but s
