Wasn't 100% convinced on how flattering the pleating would be on these shorts when worn, but I'm a believer now! Really love the fit of these and the fabric is very stretchy which makes them comfortable for wearing during activities. I've only had these for a couple of weeks but I haven't been very kind to them in that time. I have really beaten them up and they have held up surprisingly well to the abuse. Also the pockets are legit and can comfortably hold an iPhone. No dinky useless pockets here

These are perfect for all situations - I've worn them hiking, out to dinner, and hanging around the house. Great fit, with a little stretch and quick-dry material for when you're getting active. Stylish enough to go straight from the trail to post-hike beers.

I purchased the black shorts in an xs. I was smitten with them I wear them all the time, out to dinner, yard work, lounging around the house I have even put padded bike liners under them! So I decided to buy the blue ones. I ordered a size up, not because the originals didn't fit well but because there are days when I want a more relaxed fit. The larger size was too big and I ended up returning them.

I have had these less than a week, but I just spent the whole Memorial Day weekend in them. I hiked, skied and went out with them on. They are perfect, easy to dress up or down depending on your shirt. I'm a 6, got a medium and they fit great. I appreciate that they aren't too short. I might have to get the other color too.

Love these shorts. They run true to size but if you have muscular thighs be aware they may be fitted in the legs. I am 10 and the Medium fits good. Great quick dry fabric.

I've been waiting to try out a piece of the Backcountry Brands gear and the On-The-Go Shorts were easily the first on my list. Summer is basically here, and summer in Utah is hot hot hot. I was looking for a pair of shorts that were good looking/versatile but also comfortable and breathable even for casual use. A lot of women's clothes do not breathe or move well with our bodies so you often have to settle -- but not with these shorts!

The material is great; its a polyester spandex blend so it offers stretch and movement. The waist band is designed differently than most shorts I have -- the back is this sort of ruched elastic while the front is a more static semi fitted band, that can be cinched via the draw string.

I also love the pockets and the little folded panels on the front of the shorts -- these look good with pretty much any top and can be worn all day long! I like wearing these with a simple top tucked in and some sandals or sneakers.

Fit: I would say these run true to size. They are a little shorter than some of my other shorts but not so short that it's NSFW.

These might be my new favorite shorts for the Summer. They are so comfortable, stretchy and the length is just enough to make me feel comfortable wearing them (i.e. not too short!!). I love the drawstring front and the hem on the thigh. You can dress these shorts up or wear them for a hike! A must-have!!

Comfortable and cute! True to size, move well. Only wish the material was a little softer. Other than that no complaints so far. Only wore them once.
