These shorts are highly praised for their great range of colors, good and comfortable fit, and the convenient back pocket for storing valuables. They are made with durable, recycled nylon and offer performance benefits like water repellency and high abrasion resistance.

"I'm really impressed by these shorts. They're perfect for exercising in without looking like "active wear" and they're more stylish than hiking shorts. I wear them to run errands, walk the dog or even when grabbing a quick coffee. They're a great addition to my wardrobe and the sizing is spot on."
"Light weight and quick dry which is exactly what I was wanting."
"Very comfy and lightweight shorts. Perfect for summer."
"Not too short and so many people have asked me where I got these"
"These shorts are great! Zipped key pocket is good for security, regular pockets too. Comfortable as. I bought an 8 and they're a bit loose, run a little big."
"Nice and comfortable!"
"Very pleased with these comfy versatile shorts"
"Unfortunately these shorts ride up. I will not be able to wear them walking at all. Maybe they’re made for thinner thighs. I wished this didn’t happen as they look and feel awesome."
"I have several pairs of the Kathmandu shorts. They're so comfortable and easy to wear. They dry in a flash which is great when your travelling."
"I have now had 5 pairs of these shorts and they are the perfect all rounder for walking, hiking, gardening, kayaking, and generally just enjoying the Aussie outdoors. Great back pocket big enough to hold the phone safely, quick drying, and long lasting. And a great range of colours for variety!"
