Praca shorts’
"Please bring back Praca hiking shorts! They are the best!!!"
Very Disappointed
"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."
Just what I wanted
"They match the pair I already have, so I'm stoked that you still had some for sale."
Bring them back!
"Please bring these back. I need another pair!"
BRING BACK THE PRACA SHORTS (Size 10)
"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"
Current design changed to jodhpur-style
"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."
Praca women’s hiking shorts
"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 shorts!
"Best shorts for hiking, walking, travelling and every day. Deep pockets, quick drying, long lasting. . I’m 180cm tall, 75kg and nearly 70. Wear size 12. Had many pairs over many years. These are the perfect length and always look smart. More colours would be good!"
