The Praca Women's Hiking Shorts are praised for their lightweight, quick-drying material, perfect fit, and convenient pocket placement. Customers appreciate the shorts' durability, breathability, and sun protection, though opinions on size vary.

"These are the best shorts Kathmandu has ever done. Please don't discontinue these shorts, bring them back with an even larger colour range please. I desperately need another pair of black ones at the very least. . . . . . . ."
"These are great shorts, please don't discontinue this style. Light weight, great shape, quick drying and hard wearing."
"Please bring back Praca hiking shorts! They are the best!!!"
"I have returned these for a refund as the sizing is wrong. The zip is so short to make getting these on impossible. Bi have many Kathmandu size 8 shorts and pants all of which are a perfect fit. I am still waiting for my refund. No response from two emails sent. Parcel tracked and delivered on 1 Dec. Very disappointing. No response is not good enough Kathmandu. You have my money and I want my refund or at the very least a reply to my emails."
"They match the pair I already have, so I'm stoked that you still had some for sale."
"Please bring these back. I need another pair!"
"I have been buying the Praca womens shorts for years. I'm so sorry to see them disappear now. They are intelligently designed with the press studs insteaed of buttons, the pocket layout, the fabric - all amazing. I have managed to buy about six pairs and I LOVE THEM. Please phase them back in again in maybe different colours. They are so durable, last forever and dry in a flash. I SAY BRING BACK THE PRACA's"
"Bought these 10 years ago, loved them, flogged them to death. More recently I bought 2 more, and the design now has these saddlebags added to the outer hip/thigh area, like jodhpurs, jutting out from the body. Revolting. I'm size 16, but my hips & legs are not shaped like that, and neither are the model's legs in the website photos. PLEASE FIX THE DESIGN, trim the excess."
"A bit disappointed with the fabric of these shorts. Even after washing they are quite scratchy on the skin and give a little less stretch than other styles I have from Kathmandu. Also IMO the sizing runs small. I have flight shorts in size 10 which are very roomy around the waist, these in same size are quite firm. Elastic under the waistband with dome closure. High crutch as well. 😳 On the plus side, these shorts are extremely lightweight and wash and dry in a flash. So fab for everyday, travel and hiking if you like the fit."
"Great comfortable style, true to size, good colour, easy wash and dry, great quality. I love these shorts."
