  • Men's Shorts For On The Go Men
Size: Medium/6" Inseam Color: Carbon
If you are like me, you wear shorts in NC all year long regardless of the temperatures. My older son gave me a pair to improve my "shorts" collection a year ago. I have to say he made a great choice, and I continued buying these shorts to a factor of (4) pairs so I can change them up with my workout shorts. The fit is awesome, they are waterproof so getting soaked by my grandkids is not an issue, and when I put them back in the drawer, I can simply roll them up. They do not wrinkle which increases the utility of these shorts not to mention the wearability on long backpacking trips. If you buy one pair, go ahead and purchase two or three, because the selection in colors is quite incredible and the pricing is very respectable as well. ... show more
