I've been using these shorts for about 6 weeks now and am still loving them. The plaid color scheme I got is stylish to wear out to dinner and they perform well on the trails. They dry fast, stretch where they need to, and and provide just the right amount of room. They're not skater baggy/long or hipster/old guy skinny/short. They also have a cloth for cleaning sunglasses lenses in the front right leg pocket which I use more then I thought I would. Also, I wasn't sure if I'd like the snapping belt, but I actually prefer it on rides now vs other shorts that have Velcro adjustable waist size straps on the waist line.
