We’d like to introduce you to your new favorite short, the Marmot Men’s Playa Short. This casual comfy short features soft organic cotton and plenty of pocket storage for your essential items. There’s even a gusseted crotch for a little added comfort.
Bottom Line: We’ll leave you two to get to know each other.
This is the third item of Marmot clothing that I've bought, and I have yet to be let down. These shorts are extremely comfortable, cool, and light. Great for wearing around town, lounging in, etc. The fabric has a very nice feel to it, and the marmot logo on the right leg is very subtle. Most people will probably never notice it. For me this is a plus.
Two notes:
1. The BC listing says there are two cargo pockets. There's only one, on the right leg. And it's not a normal cargo pocket. It's a vertical zipper about six inches long. The pocket's not huge, but it's good for a cell phone/wallet/keys/ipod.
2. At retail these are absurdly overpriced. No pair of shorts is worth that much. I got these at a huge discount on SAC, and if I see them again I'll probably buy another pair. If you can get them on sale don't hesitate, but don't pay retail.
