My go to summer shorts

I am 5'7" on the curvier side. I dress the black color up or down, and I've collected them in every color. They never chafe and they've held up to a lot of abuse and travelling. These are the first outdoor shorts I have purchased that I am completely satisfied on the fit with as a curvy girl.

They don't ride up on long trails and they're super comfy. Love the ability to cinch the waist and all the pockets! Highly recommend.

I just received the large and they are comfortable and a little loose. I ordered medium as well and will keep both as I tend to go down a size during summer. I love that there isn't elastic in the waist, the pockets zip shut, my phone fits, pockets lay flat, and are diagonal. I noticed a review about the zipper teeth not going all the way up. The pair I received have teeth all the way up and a fabric guard at the top, maybe a redesign to prevent the issue. The inside of the pockets are the same fabric so no problem seeing undergarments if they are left open, like other brands with mesh. The integrated belt is movable. I was concerned that it was in a fixed position. Fast buckling/unbuckling and the buckle is low profile/not bulky. Snaps don't pop open. I love that the back of the legs are a little longer than the front and the hem has a design component!

I absolutely love the feel and look about these pants. every time I wear them I get compliments and asked where they are from. I love how they dry so quick too and seem to be good quality. I wish there were more colors to choose from since I got the only 2 that I really liked. I also got a pair of the 3.5 inch shorts and those are also amazing. Not too short. They do run a little big so size down.

Please bring these back!!! These are amazing hiking shorts with super functional and spacious pockets! They also dry super quickly! I have used these for a few months now and really wish they’d restock the mediums. I do agree they run one size larger… I am normally a large but like the medium.

Bought these in the tan color and sized down one size based on previous reviews. Sizing down was the right move and I really like the rise, fit, and coverage the shorts offer. Medium weight stretchy material moves with you but not off of you — also great. Tragic flaw discovered the first time I wore them on the trail. Front zipper pockets are constructed so that the teeth of the zipper run out about 1/2” before the top of the pocket and there isn’t a stopper to prevent the zipper slider from going over the end of the teeth and getting super stuck on the zipper tape. Which I discovered midway into a full day hike when I zipped my phone into the pocket and then couldn’t get it the slider back down to open the pocket. The only solution that worked to get my phone out and to allow me to move comfortably again was to pull the slider further up and fully off the zipper tape and teeth. Really loved them up til this point.

Finally found shorts that fit!

- Medium
I have wide hips and thicker thighs and have such a hard time finding shorts that fit. Especially athletic shorts. These are looser around my thighs and don’t ride up when I walk. They’re light and breathable. They might fit a little on the larger side having the adjustable waist fixes that problem so I wouldn’t recommend sizing down. Very happy!
