This is a follow up to my previous (and more comprehensive) review.

I did in fact get another pair, just like I mentioned I might. I'm actually bumping my review up to 5 stars after having worm these for about a month. I wear them nearly everyday, and they have only gotten better. I still wish the rear pockets were shallower and the front ones were deeper, though. Also, I do have one more silly complaint. The velcro on the rear pockets is very strong. It does a great job of keeping my wallet from falling out. BUT it also does a great job of grabbing everybody's attention with the sonic boom-esk "KKRRRTTTTT" whenever I go to grab something from my back pocket.. Just kidding it's not that loud or that much of a concern, but if I'm in a quiet room I am generally pretty gentle with it.

That's about all I have to say about them. If you are looking for a great everyday short with a shorter inseam, these are them!

I have been having heck of a time finding some shorts that are a good length. I prefer mine to be on the shorter side and these are perfect. When I'm standing they sit about 3 inches above my knee. For reference, I generally am a 31 pant inseam and bought the small in these. The material is pretty nice. A bit heavier than what I am used to with most shorts, but I really prefer that with these. They are good for when you're wanting to be more casual, but still great for hiking. I've worn them on my last few hikes and have no major complaints.

My one and only complaint is the pockets. The front pockets are rather shallow, maybe like 4 inches deep. While the back pockets extend down towards the bottom of the shorts. Totally backwards from how I'd prefer 'em. It's really weird feel your wallet pressing against your leg like halfway down the thigh when you're walking or sitting. Some people might also dislike the fact that the belt is built into the shorts, but that has not given me any problems.

All in all they're great! I will most likely be getting another pair!

Great shorts! A little on the short side but that is the style these days. The wife loves me in them ; )

These Kavu shorts are money. They are def cut short gearing towards a more outdoor style of short. Though they are made of cotton, I would still be comfortable wading the river in these since they sit just above the knee.

The front pockets are fairly shallow however the back pockets make up for it by being massive. Stoked to use these this summer hiking, camping, fishing, and boating

Was super bummed that these shorts didn't work out for me. The waist was a perfect fit for me (a little loose), but the thighs were much too tight. I have tree trunks for legs from powerlifting, so I run into this problem a lot. Everything else about the shorts were money, but unfortunately have to return .

I bought these a year ago, then bought two more this year. ONLY shorts I wear day-to-day (other than some sportier shorts for specific activities and water).

love the cut, style, and material, but disappointed that I have to return them because they are sized so large. I'm a strong medium and even have other Kavu's in medium that fit me well. However, these things fit me like they are a large. Be aware and order down a size if you aren't at the top end of your size.

These are great. The material is butter soft. Seams are out of the way so no chafing. They are the perfect length. I love the oversized pockets. I will be buying a few more pairs.

I ordered a large originally but probably should've ordered a medium. The medium fits well, feels durable, and looks good. Back pockets are weird, people always think I'm wearing them backwards.

I have been wearing these bad boys for every occasion, every time. They are made of a very durable material and they break in wonderfully. They sit just above my knee, which allows quite a large amount of freedom.

I was apprehensive to buy these shorts at first, since I've never tried on a pair myself. But they were true to size with plenty of room in the legs for bigger thighs, such as a man like myself. I've worn them nonstop around the house and out on the town, and I can't wait to take them on the trail in the spring! The built-in belt makes it convenient to ensure you don't show your back side to innocent bystanders. The spacious back pockets allow your wallet and other belongings to fall below your bottom, that way they do not bother you while you're sitting on long drives or out on the town.

Great buy! I recommend these to anyone looking for a lightweight hiking short that has multiple uses.

I love theses shorts! They are cut well above to knee to show off your glorious thighs. I love the built in belt, so you can do all of the activities without getting pants-ed in the process. Well done Kavu!

These shorts are great. Integrated belt, very soft to the touch, deep roomy pockets and a solid fit. So far, they have proven to be very durable and show no signs of wear after a year of abuse.

Bought two pairs of these shorts for myself, and now consider them a staple of my backpacking/climbing attire. Heres the down-low:



- These puppies are shorter than your average male shorts, and I am super happy about this. Men, your ridiculous cargo shorts dont need to be flopping around below your knees, ever.. You are presumably grown adults, step the classiness up a tad. I dont have to worry about the weight of these shorts pulling themselves down off my hip where they should sit, and I am able to hike, and climb without restraint from my clothing. very handy. Getting some sun on those thighs I work so hard for is nice as well. My girlfriend, and her friends approve of the length on these.



- The material is actually super tough, but the fit is so good that it isnt a knock on comfort. The material almost resembles tough canvas, but maybe a little more giving. Wipe climbing chalk on em, dry your hands on em, whatever... they wont degrade anytime soon, thats for sure.



- The Pockets are very deep, and the way they are integrated into the structure creates a secure pocket as well. I have been upside down climbing over hanging boulders and not lost my phone to gravity from my pockets.



- the fit is SUPERB: im 5'10", 170lbs, and the smalls fit me like a classy white glove you'd put on before handling fine art.



Conclusion? Let your legs step out of the deep dark cave you call shorts now0-a-days and put on some real shorts. The world deserves better than your 19 inch inseam..

like the sturdy material, and the deep wrap-around pockets. i am on the shorter side, and the length works great for me. sadly i ordered a size too big for me, but i am wearing them anyhow.
