“I review a ton of clothing in a years time and was introduced to Roark last year before a trip to Iceland. I decided to pick these shorts up a few months ago and haven’t taken them off. Currently, they are the only shorts I own to really put them through the paces. Last week I wore them on a 4 day hiking trip through Zion NP in 93F heat. From Angel’s Landing to the Narrows, these shorts held up incredibly well! They dried fast, they kept me cool, they protected me from sliding across rocks, and I could still chill by the fire comfortably at night. The versatility of these shorts are unmatched; you can dress them up, dress them down, wear them out, or do your house work in them. As I'm writing this review I have the military color in my cart and about to hit “complete purchase”.”
