Marmot Men's Appalachian Short

Best of all worlds
I think these are the best shorts I've seen that fills the cap between sports shorts and any cotton dressy shorts. They have great features like mesh pockets and made from a light, stretchy and quick drying material. I have Arc'Teryx Palasades and Patagonia Gii shorts but like these best of all. I liked them so much I bought another pair.

Awesome fit, great feel.
I've purchased many hiking shorts in the past, but bar none these Marmot are the most comfortable and allow for the most flexibility when climbing over large obstacles when hiking. I got wet a few times and they dry extremely quickly. I'm ordering another few for a trip to Nepal.
