The Prana Men's Switchback Long Short protects your knees and encourages freedom of mobility while you hike and climb. The articulated knee helps you to move freely as you lift your legs into all sorts of spidery positions on that granite wall, and the gusseted crotch allows you to hurdle-leap that river without restriction. Stretch nylon fabric moves with you instead of against you so you can pull some pretty funky maneuvers without being held back by your clothes. The Switchback Short even has a climbing brush holder so you can easily clean loose dirt and chalk off of that next hold, or off of your teeth.
Bottom Line: We're not sure if these are really long shorts or really short pants. Whatever they are, they sure make it easy to move around.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I decided I'd go out on a limb and try something different than my normal shorts and I wasn't a big fan of these. They were well made but just too long for my taste. They come down to about half way between your knee cap and ankle and flare at the end. Other "long" shorts I've expeirienced fall just below the knee. If a capri cut is your style, you will probably love these!

These 3/4 shorts are easy to climb in, good at protecting my knees, and to quick to dry after post climb river swims. I'd buy them again.

Bought all three colors. Used as a bathing suit. Extremely desired extra long inseam. Strange, but the mango pair were unhemmed. Exchanged for another pair.
Change me.
