Want the durability of cotton canvas without the weight? Pull on the do-all multi-purpose Kavu Men's Chilli Lite Short. Thanks to Kavu's mountain wash, this canvas short offers rugged durability while remaining soft and lightweight. A roomy fit makes the Chilli Light Short great for hiking, climbing, and camping.
Bottom Line: The Kavu Men's Chilli Lite Short—canvas trimmed down and tough.
I bought these for my boyfriend and we both love them. They are a really durable and comfortable material. They can go from the crag to casual wear no problem. They hit just above the knee which is good for climbing (doesn't restrict movement) but if you like shorts below the knee these may be short for you. The waste band has a belt and allows for adjustment. Overall really durable and good looking. I really like the light striping that comes with some colors. We got the brown bear stripe and I may get him another.
I love my Chili Lite's...
Just so you know, though, they are shorter than the average pair of shorts these days. they come up maybe 3" above my knee and i am an average 6' guy.
But please, I need a new pair, I was cleaning the bathrooms in our house, and I spilled some bleach on them. SAC, can you come to my rescue?!?!
These are now my favorite shorts. Bought 2 pair on SAC and will buy more if they come up again. I live in the deep south and its shorts weather here 11.5 mos of the year. These are cotton but it is so light it breathes well. They are a comfortable length and the cut is such that you dont flash folks if you squat down. Highly recommended.
