    Great Fit, Great Color

    I absolutely love these shorts and they fit/feel perfectly. I will continue to buy more as the need arises.

    looks great!

    looks high quality material, perfectly fit. I haven't worn it long enough to see the durability but so far nothing to complain about (2 weeks since bought it)

    very comfortable and great pockets

    Bought them based on liking the Ascender Pants. Glad I bought them, wish they were available in a slim or tapered fit. The legs are wider than most shorts I own, but otherwise good product.

    International Drivers license and my excess cash. If you're travel overseas, forget buying a money belt and buy these shorts and/or the Envoy pants. Both have the zippered thigh pocket. My only complaint is the cell phone pocket is too narrow to hold the new wider cell phones.

    Great travel shorts. Absolutely love the zippered side pocket. This pocket is big enough to hold my passport, my International Drivers license and my excess cash that I don't want to carry in ,y wallet. If you're traveling overseas, forget buying a money belt and buy these shorts instead and/or the Envoy pants. Both have the zippered thigh pocket. My only complaint is the cell phone pocket is too narrow to hold the new wider cell phones. These are expensive but worth every penny. I definitely recommend them.

    Truly outstanding shorts

    This is the second pair I have had, and they blow away any other shorts I have for comfort, function, and looks. If you can only take one pair on a trip, take these. And wear them at home, too.

    Almost Perfect

    I have a black pair and a grey pair. They are comfortable, fit and breathe well, and the stretch is very nice. They are not the most lightweight shorts available, but they more than make up for that in durability and style. Overall, these shorts are thoughtfully designed and versatile.

    I love the variety of pockets but I wish there was a zipped pocket inside the right front pocket. Also, the fabric flap covering the lower right thigh pocket on each of my shorts pulls back when I sit down, making the zipper more noticable.

    As soon as they restock the other colors, I will buy them, too

    Can't recommend these enough. This is my second pair of these shorts, and as soon as the other colors restock I will be snagging some more. You can wear these things for days without them showing/smelling wear and they're really comfortable.

    Excellent!

    This is my second pair of Ascender shorts. I bought the first pair for travel, with the expectation that I would principally wear them in that context. But after realizing that they are my favorite shorts for all occasions, I bought a second pair.
