"Lightweight and comfortable run true to size."
Excellent durable, quick dry shorts
"Excellent durable, quick dry shorts for hiking bike riding and travel. Favourite feature is secure zips on all pockets. Keenly bought another pair after performance on Great Southern Rail Trail ride."
small pockets but comfortable
"Bought for self. I'm a 35/36 and purchased a 34 (yeh, dont ask), but the very elastic nature of the materials means if fits OK. The blue can get a bit hot in direct sun (WA), and the side pockets are notably on the short side, so makes carrying wallet, keys and phone a juggle. iPhone 16 just fits (but do the zip up as it may fall out when sitting). They are very comfortable so I gave a 4/5 albeit the pockets by them self would have rated a 3/5."
Reasonable at 30% Off
"I wrote feedback a week ago to Kathmandu but no response to date. Snug for size 34. Main complaint is hand pockets not deep enough for standard phone or other items. Another 2-3 cm would be ideal. A little bit more space in the crotch area would be more comfortable also, hence a snug all around feel."
