Royal Robbins Women's Backcountry Short

Great Shorts
I love these shorts. They are lightweight and travel well. Perfect for hiking and DisneyWorld. I love all of the pockets and the zipper pocket is perfect for holding a credit card, ticket, and a fast pass or two. They wash well and air-dry quickly. They fit nicely, but if you are between sizes and plan to use the pockets, go for the bigger size. Mine were a little snug with my phone in the pocket (I wear size 2-4 and my shorts are a 2).

Love these shorts
These are my favorite day and hiking shorts by far. Have been wearing them for years. I especially love them for hiking the AZ mountains because of their lightweight but rugged fabric. The nylon allows me to slide on the rocks. Also the length of the shorts (mid to high thigh) gives my legs freedom to move. Lots of deep pockets but since the shorts seem to run tight for the size, i cant stuff too many things inside. If i do, the shorts buldge and tend to ride up in the inside thigh. Another reason i really like these shorts is that they are more slimming than other most shorts for curvy women. I wear siz 12-14, for instance. The fabric and cut of the pockets help in this area. I hate paying so much for shorts but the shorts are so great that i find the cost worth the investment.

Comfy
I love these shorts! Very comfortable and the quality is obvious. In my opinion they tend to run a bit small. I wish they had my size in more colors. I wore these to a amusement/water park and they kept me cool but also dried very quickly. Great purchase!
