Practical Shorts - Excellent for Overseas Trips
"My favourite pair of shorts ever from Kathmandu. They are light weight, quick drying, and comfy. Love they have decent deep sides pockets, and a zippered back pocket. I wore these overseas hiking and birding in the heat and humidity of South East Asia and they held up super well."

"love these shorts as a 5'9 gal. the legs flare out in a really nice a-line shape. perfect for walking/hiking, material feels robust while also breathable and so comfortable - found these comfy enough to wear around the house this summer, this is actually my second pair they're that gooood"
