prAna Jackal Short - Men's - 2008 BCS

Prana got good designs and quality. It is really confortable wheather you thrash it at the gym or take it shopping.
Be careful of the sizing because I have a 32" waist and I wear a Small size. I had to send the first pair back for a change which was a big hassle since I dun live in the states. Not to mention paying extra for post!
Mesh pockets feels a little weird cause it is kinda angled. But overall, great buy!

These shorts just don't fit true to size. Waist measures a minimum of 2 inches larger that stated. The combination of too large waist, soft fabric and heavy pockets cause these shorts to droop and sag something awful. Yes I have heard of an invention called a belt. I really don't care. I wanted casual shorts and all my belts are of the dress up variety. Kudos to Backcountry and the gear heads for accepting my return and graciously sending a second pair of shorts on their dime, just to see if the first pair wasn't put together right. It wasn't a fluke, second pair had all the same bad attributes. I am keeping the second pair, because my wife likes them and for the organic cotton. I love Backcountry and their dedication to service. Beware the Jackal!

Bought these for my son and he loves them. Great quality and fit.

This fit well and look great. I'm a 34" waist and the Med is a little snug, but I like that b/c a belt isn't needed.

Have had these shorts for a couple weeks now, they are very comfortable, fit well, and were very durable climbing around and hiking on the southern utah desert redrock

This is my second pair of prAna Jackal shorts. My first pair are a little worn but I accidentally got a little bit of bleach on them. I don't care! They're so comfortable I still wear them. They are the most comfortable shorts I have ever put on in my 31 years on this earth! The crotch on these shorts can take any stretch. If I could do a split, I would be able to in these shorts. Having four pockets is a huge help because I usually end up carrying stuff for my wife and kids in my pockets. I would recommend these shorts to anyone.

Climbing is probably the worst thing you could do to your clothes. That's where Prana comes in. These shorts are perfect for as many pitches as you could possible throw at them or just lounging around the campfire. Hell, I even wear them to work. Little short for bouldering though.
