Description of Mountain Hardwear Kurtis Short - Men's:
Un-pack the Mountain Hardwear Men's Kurtis Shorts and head out to explore the sights on your summer vacation. The Kurtis Shorts' inseam gusset gives you flexibility as you clamber around the red rocks in Zion, and Mountain Hardwear's zip tie adjustable belt eliminates the need to cram a belt into your luggage.
Bottom Line: These shorts are comfortable climbing a crag or cruising downtown.
I love these shorts perhaps a little too much. The back slash pockets are incredibly useful for jamming just about anything into. I wore them for an entire week on the San Juan river and they performed flawlessly. Very easy to move in, and incredibly versatile.
For me, the fact that these run small works wonderfully; I typically can't wear a men's 30, (usually a 27-29 waist) but these fit perfectly, and unlike so many of the "short shorts" that are made for women, these are a great length for those of us who want a longer inseam. The cotton/nylon material is durable, yet light and cool when you are hiking or backpacking. I liked my first pair so much, thanks to Backcountry's great prices, I have at least one pair in every color. Oh yeah, I wear them for swimming too, and the velcro pocket kept my money clip safe even when I forgot and dived off the boat into the lake . . .
