These are very comfortable and well built

These are very comfortable, they don’t bunch up or pinch when stepping high or crouching. I can wear these to town or for day hikes, they feel light and dry quickly

Perfect for big guys with big legs

As a larger guy with tree trunk thighs I struggle to find shorts that don't cling to my thighs like spandex shorts when I sit down. These shorts are a perfect fit with a great cut! Not baggy when standing and when I sit or squat I still have movement allowing my body to breath.

Great Short, Wish it was longer

All around these are great shorts. I like the fabric, fit, and functionality. My only complaint is that I wish they came in a longer inseam option.

Perfect fit and form

These shorts fit just right. I am 5’10” and 180lbs. I wear a size 32. These shorts have just the right amount of stretch and a durable. They handled scrambling and creek hopping with ease.

These shorts are very comfortable

These shorts are very comfortable but they change color when get wet. So if your sweating pretty bad it will so. Sitka normally takes everything into account. But kinda missed this one. I still wear these but how great Sitka stuff normally is I was surprised they missed the mark.

Love this pair of shorts! Lightweight, breathable, very comfortable and great quality. However, they run a little small. Ordered a size 34 but had to exchange them for size 36 because they were rather tight about the waist and thighs.

Comfortable but stain easy

I bought 4 pairs and love the fit and comfort. Only problem Is if you get anything at all on them they stain easily and no amount of washing gets it out.
