Patagonia Stand Up Short - Men's

So when Pata had their 50% off sale a month or so back, I went to order the duck shorts. The girl on the phone told me they were out of stock, and my heart sank. She recommended these, and I asked if I'd love them as much as the duck shorts. She said yes, and I took her word for it. Long story short I'm quite glad that I made the purchase because these things rock. My jealous friends make fun of my legs, as the shorts are a little short. They're super durable, but not heavy like carhartt. They're reasonably quick drying, but not like swimtrunks. All around they are my go to shorts. I love being able to climb in em all day, and then head to the pub for a couple beers and not have to change shorts.

Ok so let me first say that I originally bought these out of curiosity as many of my friends had them. They are SHORT...but that being said...I have never had a more comfortable, easy to hike in, durable, and just overall great. The shortness allows for a wide range of movement and keeps you cool down below. They are a thick duck material but its not so thick that it becomes hot. The pockets are a little weird at first but the big back pockets are easy to stick larger items in and the wallet pocket still feels good. Plus the big back pockets are loved by the ladies hands...dont ask me why but apparently they call out to them...I dont get it but I am certainly not complaining. These hold up great and are a great short for hot summer weather hiking or just around town.

...to hide the effects of occasional scooting on one's butt, as does the double seat.

The Greatest Shorts PERIOD!

Been wearing these for 20+ years - still my favorites! Hope Patagonia makes these for a long time to come.
