I absolutely love these shorts. They're great for climbing as they're not too baggy that the harness bunches up at the leg and they don't restrict movement. Very lightweight and they dry quickly, so they're great for hiking. I use them for yoga as well, though I've found that they can get a bit restrictive when doing a full lunge or pigeon stretches. However, this would probably be the same with any shorts or pants! I have a pair of black and a pair of pewter. The only complaint I have is that my climbing chalk absolutely loves the microfiber, so they don't stay too clean after a session. However, a light rinse fixes that and you're dry in minutes. I wear a 32/33 and I'm just over six feet tall and the large fits perfectly (not too baggy, not too tight).

I bought three pairs based on the reviews here and I'm not at all disappointed. Got me through my first Yosemite hike when we bit off a 15 mile round trip from Glacier Point to the Valley Floor in one day. Granted, I still got a couple small blisters, but probably had to do with my choice in wearing a trail running shoe instead of a hiking shoe (newbie error). Work well for my everyday runs and feel amazing!

Tweaked my knee halfway through our 15 mile hike and had 2 miles of downhill and 5 miles of uphill and two miles of downhill to go. Never would've made it out of Yosemite before sunset if it wasn't for the neoprene wrap and ibuprofen. You never know what you're gonna need, even for a day hike and this lightweight kit paid off in dividends! Didn't use anything else, but I feel pretty more at ease knowing I have so much at my fingertips.
