fit alone makes these awesome

Ranked #135 - Women's Shorts
December 27, 2010
I agree with catiecoo on the "not for curvy chicks" part. Which is FINE because curvy women can find enough stuff that doesn't fit the rest of us. My sides go straight down from my ribs with little waist at all-- these shorts are super comfortable for me, when I usually find myself upsizing so as to get waste-bands to fit below my belly-button. I'm not saying I low-ride- I just don't like hiking with a tight waste-band that causes me to suck-in when I'm stepping up onto a boulder. These REST nicely just below the waste without being baggy in the butt. FIT ALONE on these shorts makes them worth buying. However you couple that with great fabric and long-lasting make= they're awesome active shorts. The fabric is great. It washes super well, it's lightweight and soft=making them non-chaffing for long hikes... The pockets are pretty nice too- for one reason or another women's clothing never seems to have efficient pocketing- these are functional deep-enough pockets for stuffing - say- golf balls and some T's if you want to play golf in them.
