- Jon C.Verified BuyerReviewingAscender Shorts Regular Fit - Matte NavyI recommend this productHeight 5' 10"Weight 170-180 lbsSize Purchased 31Size Typically Worn 31Length Purchased 9"Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agothird 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.

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.

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!

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.
