“These shorts are lightweight and comfortable. I do uphill climbing, including steps and dirt trails, almost daily. Because I extend my stride and take semi-lunge-like steps, I need pants that can handle this extended range of motion. These work well. I'm very thin, so it's really important to me that shorts be lightweight, and these are. I like the crisp feeling of the material too. I would like the option of being able to purchase these and other shorts in 30 Extra Tall, however. As of now, the 30W is only available in the 12-inch length. Thank you, American Tall.”
