    Fantastic Shorts

    I started with the Moab pants and ordered size 32 waist which fit great. I ordered shorts in the same size but they were too tight so I exchanged for size 34 and they fit a little loose but much better. I’ve worn and washed them many times and liked them so much that I bought two other pairs in different colors.

    Decent shorts

    These are a bit tougher and wear well. A bit long though, could be shorter.

    Great shorts

    I have a lot of miles on these and i think they will outlast me. I do wish they sold a 8" or 7" version, i had these hemmed to be a bit above the knee.
