Cool jiking shorts

Excellent. I have a similar pair from The Trek, but love that these shorts have a zippered rear pocket. A true town pair of shorts.

Great Shorts

These are great shorts. The gusseted crotch and the stretch material make it very comfortable and easy to move in - no pinch or stress points. My 1-star deduction is for: 1) there is a “Zpacks” tag on the left side seam right where your left hand hits and rubs, why? , and 2) the draw string should be on the inside, not the outside where strings hang down (actually are there even needed?). Once again, I really like these shorts. It would be great to add another color and maybe even a shorter version.

Best shorts I’ve ever hiked in! They stretch and move with you and the waist band is so comfortable!
