"Thank you staff for assisting our endeavors."
"Love these shorts for trail running, hiking, scrambling, and bouldering. Like the patagonia baggies but way better. The fit is perfect. Just wish there were more color options and maybe even patterns. Get styleee BD!"
"I like the fit of these shorts, but the two snap closure is weird. The snaps are tiny and difficult to line up. Also, get rid of the side pocket. Its so small it basically useless."
"Like the breathability, stretch, features, option of a belt or not etc. Fit true to size - Large fits well - (5'10 180 33"). Will definitely take on a backpacking trip. Quick drying as well."
"I like these shorts but they have a few short comings, at least for me. First the good: they fit nicely, a little shorter than I’m used to but no biggy. The fabric is all tech. Stretchy, quick dry and light. The iffy: it’s hard to describe, but the shorts have 2 snaps. No understanding of this but there they are. They are small, hard to snap and right next to each other. All of my pants have a single closure and a zipper at the fly. 2 steps, done. These shorts have 3 steps to finish the closure part. My brain keeps forgetting to zip the fly. I know, that’s on me, but why is it so hard to close and zip up? You decide. Also the side zip pocket is only good for holding a bill ($) or something light as its location makes anything else rub against your leg. Long term use - we’ll see."
"True to size , comfortable and pack down small , ordered multiple colours . Perfect for outdoors and Travel."
