    third pair

    These are the shorts I was looking for. They wear well and are comfortable with good/normal drape. The fabric is not gross technical or hyper stretchy softshell. It's not cotton soft but it is normal feeling, smooth and I don't think about it. I'm not self conscious like I should be in a gear shop. They look professional and clean cut. I appreciate the Bluffworks features and extra pockets. This is my third pair and I don't look for chino shorts any where else.

    Professional and clean

    These are really clean cut, grown-up looking shorts with the great Bluffworks features and attention to detail. I always love their back high-mount phone pocket. The right side leg pocket is pretty tasteful with great use. Deep front pockets. The fabric is nice—it's smooth and, while not overly soft, it's not technical either. It's not weird softshell, oddly stretchy, plasticky. It's not fake looking or feeling. If I'm wearing chino shorts I want them to look and feel like normal fabric and these do that.

    Fantastic Travel Shorts

    These are everything I hoped they would be: comfortable, light, and very easy to travel with. They are very enjoyable to wear.

    Best Shorts I've ever owned!

    I absolutely love these shorts! I own them in three colors! They’re the only shorts I wear all summer long. A pair of these, along with the Ascender Chinos, is all I need for a month of travel. They resist stains, dry quickly, and look fantastic. I’ve taken them rafting, swimming, kayaking, and hiking. I had a zipper issue with my first pair, but Bluffworks replaced them promptly. Their customer service is outstanding!

    Comfortable and stylish

    These are the most comfortable and stylish shorts with zip front pocket and looks great right out of the dryer or suitcase. These are now my third pair!

    I love the shorts

    I love that they have so many size options for tall skinny people. The shorts are comfortable and look great.

    Ascender Shorts not the same features as Ascender Pants

    I had hoped that the Ascender Shorts would have contained all of the features of the Ascender Pants, but no. The fact that in pants there are several zippered pockets, not having the same in the shorts is big miss.

    Thanks for the feedback and we regret the shorts didn't turn out as expected. For future knowledge, the Details tab on any product page shows an image and detail of that product's pocket configuration. If wishing for further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to Customer Service.
