I had to have a pair of these shorts since the ones I wore last year were so great and I expected these to be just as comfortable. However, as often happens a company will take a great product and supposedly make marked improvements. Not so in this case. Except for the light weight material, most of the characteristics that I loved in last years design are gone. For example, the inseam is longer and zippers have been replaced by Velcro. Ultimately, these shorts are more cumbersome and feel heavier. I will wear these shorts, but I hope that the north face company recognizes that newer is not always better.

I really like this bag. It is comfortable and easy to use. There is plenty of room with lots of smaller pockets for the little things. I don't think I would hike with this bag, but it is great for toting around town.
