Your buddies call a last-minute bouldering session right after work. Thank goodness you're wearing the prAna Men's Jackal Shorts. A gusseted crotch in these organic cotton shorts provides enough room for a quick crag climb before the sun goes down. Stash your cell phone and wallet in the Jackal Shorts' cargo pockets for after-dinner strolls.
Bottom Line: Casual shorts with a gusseted crotch for short, last-minute bouldering sessions.
These shorts just don't fit true to size. Waist measures a minimum of 2 inches larger that stated. The combination of too large waist, soft fabric and heavy pockets cause these shorts to droop and sag something awful. Yes I have heard of an invention called a belt. I really don't care. I wanted casual shorts and all my belts are of the dress up variety. Kudos to Backcountry and the gear heads for accepting my return and graciously sending a second pair of shorts on their dime, just to see if the first pair wasn't put together right. It wasn't a fluke, second pair had all the same bad attributes. I am keeping the second pair, because my wife likes them and for the organic cotton. I love Backcountry and their dedication to service. Beware the Jackal!
Have had these shorts for a couple weeks now, they are very comfortable, fit well, and were very durable climbing around and hiking on the southern utah desert redrock
