These are great shorts that I used for mountain biking, climbing, hiking and general around town stuff. I liked the first one so much that I bought another pair from backcountry. The zippers work great. and the fitting is solid.

But after a few washes, they are showing signs of the fabric break down and becoming fuzzy.

At almost $80 bucks, I would have been better off spending a little more getting the Arcteryx ones which are better quality.

I bought two pair of these shorts for my time in Europe. They were awesome and very comfortable.

The two side pockets and the lower right leg pocket all helped keep things safe, secured and organized. Lift pass front left pocket, wallet front right, phone right leg pocket.

The length is great and the material was awesome in not getting too warm.

The built in belt was awesome too.

I would highly recommend these shorts to anyone.
