Rock Solid Shorts
Could not be happier with mine. I get so much use from them because of the versatility and comfort. I'll wear them for a hike or on the boat, then grab them for casual wear as well.

Navy Seal Shorts?
Just perfect shorts for a hike, trek, "ruck", whatever we're calling it these days! Beat them up and good as new. Handled water, heat, everything I through at them. They crush in the coffee shop too, just sayin...

The fabric feels strong/tough but still breathes very well. Handles the trails and treks without probrems, and completely comfortable the whole time.

Durable, dries super quickly, and really convenient pocketing system. Was hesistant, but justifiably worth the higher price when I finally had them in hand and started wearing them around.

Good for Travel Too!
solid travel short. wore them on long flights, comfy the whole time, pockets for everything, and they don't really wrinkle or hold odor, so I could wear them regularly over several trips (yes, I washed in between). they really make packing for trips easy as I just now need 2-3 pairs of these and good to go.

Great Pockets
The pockets are intuitive and make a big difference. Love the side zipper pockets, and the phone pocket is why I grab these most days now. Not having my phone in the front pocket, but instead right on the side is a much better user experience and worth the price alone once you try it.

Excellent Hiking Shorts
Comfortable fit and obviously very durable well-built shorts. The zippered pockets and phone pocket are excellent for keeping everything in position. The belt hook is a really nice touch keeps the shorts secure on the hips and gives the shorts an edge. Very happy with this purchase, and looking forward to more colors.

Khaki Trek Shorts \ M
Love these shorts! The zippered pockets are a nice touch, and the material is super durable for how lightweight it is. They feel basically bombproof, but still light and flexible. I love that. The fabric is also completely water resistant, so kayaking and river rucks are game on with these guys. They also dry as quickly as my old patagonias from the 90s so it's just living the dream in these.

Best in Class
I've tried a few alternatives and these were far superior to everything else. I wear them for everything now. Not cheap for sure, but worth the investment if you want something solid in your daily rotation.
