Good light shorts
Super light, dries fast; not very durable for butt sliding but good as runners

Breathable, light, great feel on the skin
Loved these! I guess everyone does—as my puppy grabbed them right after I tried them on an Indian Peaks Wilderness trial for the first time in Colorado where we live :) Shorts proved to be extremely light weighted, breathable, and good on the skin. I wish I still had it haha.
