The shorts look really neat on this website, so I ordered them. Despite the synthetic fabric (normall I like cotton) I probably still would have kept these shorts but for one small detail: the color was a blend of wasabi, used napkins, and vomit. It was "suede" I think - not sure how the other ones look as I sent these bad-boys back for a refund. I am only reviewing them now because backcountry sent me an email asking me to.
In conclusion: try getting any color other than "suede" and maybe you'll do better than me.

These pants are fantastic. You will want to buy more of them after you try them on for the first time. These have to be the lightest shorts i have ever had on. It wont even feel like your wearing anything at all. Plus there amazingly comfortable and store down incredibly small into its own back pocket which is a great feature. You will never think twice about taking them anywhere.

It's cool in hot weather, lightweight & dries quickly if you get wet. A great pair of shorts. I've already ordered others. There is a small, zippered pocket on the right side that is really too small to be of any practical use. A slight negative.

I live in Panama and this is the second set in 2 years. I wear them everyday because they are lightweight, rugged and easy to care for. They are fantastic.

So far I have tested the pants on one rally, and they have performed as expected. Lightweight fabric keeps me cool, and mobile in the tropical Barbados sun, and they dry quickly when wet. Even the belt is lightweight..great attention to detail.
Great pockets, which allow me to stow all essential on-body navigational rally gear. I suspect this is the first of many pairs!

I am buying my second pair since these are honestly the best shorts I've ever owned.
The construction is tough, I've gone everywhere, tortured them and they are still holding up great, aside from a few loose threads(extensive beating). They are extremely comfortable, due to the light weight and thin material, sometimes I don't even notice I'm wearing anything. They dry really quick, great for washing in the sink when traveling, or going to the river for a swim. The zippered front and back pocket are GREAT, gives a peace of mind when being active or in an unfamiliar city. The belt is a great touch, although the tightness loosens after a while, a quick tug on the belt strap and you're good to go!Overall, I love the way I look in them, they sit right above the knees, and look really good.

Live and play in Southeast Florida. These shorts are cool and dry quickly when wet. Stand up very well to everyday use. Have 8 pair and the only flaw is the occasional button thats not sewn on properly.

Whoa! Why didn't someone tell me about these shorts before now. The shorts are extremely comfortable, and the they are the lightest pair of shorts that I have ever worn. If you ever wanted pockets, these shorts have them. Great all around. I'm ready to buy another two pairs.

These shorts are so light and comfortable that you hardly even know they're on. I've used them for walking and bike riding and so far no problems at all. I would order another pair without a doubt.

Very light, lotsa pockets, nice removable belt, water resistant and comfortable. I would have liked some drawstrings, too, but ya can't have it all. I liked them enough to buy a second pair.
