The North Face Dogpatch Short - Men's - 2008 BCS

Love these shorts/not fancy or high tech but look good, wear well and are easy to care for. They are perfect for the islands in Lake Erie in the summer.

Cheap, decent looking, comfy. For $30 ya can't go wrong. Material is heavy duty cotton.

Overall I am satisfied with this purchase. The shorts seem pretty durable, and the material is very comfortable. The only problems are that the back pockets are external (They're just sewn onto the back of the short and dont go inside the shorts like most pockets) and they seem to be rather short. As the shortness isn't that bad, I'm afraid to order a long in fear that it would be too big of a difference.

Well they fit well and the soft cotton works against the skin - more than adequate as casual shorts. However if you're looking for a dependable trail short, be a big spender and order something more rugged.
Perfect for a bar night in a ski town with a pair of smoothy's and a cotton tee, not so great for scrambling up a mountain.

These are nice-looking shorts, but if you are between sizes, definitely order down, not up! My husband wears 33 waist pants so I ordered 34. They are huge on him. Plan to exchange for a 32 since fabric & quality look great.

A good comfortable good fitting short pant. Great to wear for casual needs. I'm a rather small person, one of the few pants I can wear.

I bought 4 pairs of dogpatch shorts and I am delighted. The fit is great and the pockets are perfect. What's even better is that they don't have any of those stupid pockets within pockets so that you can't get your keys out. Definitely a 10 out of 10!
