Lafuma used a soft blend of organic cotton and hemp to make the Men’s Annapurna Short comfortable enough for a long day on the trail or hanging out in town. Two huge cargo pockets carry your wallet and phone so your hands are free to carry a sandwich and beer outside for lunch.
Bottom Line: Take hemp your shorts to new heights.
I bought these because of the organic cotton value, and I wanted something comfortable to wear in pretty hot, sticky weather,(New Orleans.) I found regular cotton to get to heavy in the humidity, but the Lafuma are light and comfortable. I don't the same durablility as regular cotton (when I load my pocket with items - ipod, phone, camera etc.) I am not using these for hiking or heavy exercising, rather everyday living. The $56. price tag is a little intimidating, but I like them. I would buy another pair.
