Great summer short!

The material is great, zip pockets are nice, and overall fit is good. These shorts are a tad tight around the thighs for me, but they are squat proof.

Shorts, run small

I bought them for my husband, he wears a size small in all pants and shorts (he’s 130 pounds), and these were super snug on him, size up. He loved the material though.

Poor durability, excellent fit

Excellent fit and feel. Worn throughout the summer for running. I have two holes in the leg despite no abrasion or punctures. Poor durability and value proposition.

Riser Active Short

We hold youth fishing camps at the Outerbanks at Oregon Inlet, NC. These shorts performed well. Would like the addition of a side or back pocket. I like the zips on both front pockets.

Light weight shorts

These shorts are great for around the house and sporting activities. I usually through them on after I get all cleaned up in the evening and were them around the house. I think the would be great for running, working out, and other sports. I probably would not recommend them for anything in the field except fishing. They arm well made and very comfortable.

Great shorts

Nice material makes them very light and comfortable. Fit as expected and are a great athletic length. if you have larger than a 40 waist the XL's will be very tight.

You need 7 pair

They have become my favorite pair of shorts to wear! Fit really well. They are breathable and dry really fast when you get them wet. Definitely need a pair for each day of the week! I hope more colors become available!

Mostly good so far

The color and fit are good. I was a little disappointed with the number of areas with loose stitching/strings prior to even wearing especially with the price. But they were a bday gift for my boyfriend so I didn’t want to bother returning them. He likes them and says they are comfy. Too early to say how durable they are.

I always get a little skeptical when Sitka releases new everyday wear and every time I buy something it becomes a favorite pretty quickly. These shorts are just flat out great and I highly recommend.
