I have a few pairs
I have a few pairs of these shorts. The only complaint is that they stain very easily and tough to clean. They are very comfortable!

These are very nice shorts. Everything about them is spot on. I like a drop in thigh pocket for the phone but the zipper pocket works just fine.

Nice short, tight in the legs
I wear a 34 and ordered a 34. The waist fits well, but theyre pretty snug everywhere else, and I do not have particularly big legs. But theres a good bit of stretch and I dont feel restricted. Just fits a lot tighter than I would prefer.

Very Comfortable!
I haven't purchased shorts in years (literally, years). It has long been time for a few new pairs. I ordered two pair of Mesa Short 8. 5" (I would have offered more however nothing is available). I couldn't be more pleased. These shorts are lightweight. They fit well. They are comfortable! They are slightly tight in the thighs. However, that is more my build (lifelong athlete) as all shorts and pants are tight in my thighs.

Loved the Design size runs small
Pocket layout and design was what I was looking for. Ordered a 32 and it was more like 31 compared to all of the other shorts I own. So I returned. Pants don't come in a 33 so I didn't re order in a larger size.

Too slim in the thighs
I'm 6'2" 210lbs. I typically wear a 34 and could be a 35 in some pants/shorts. I ordered a size 34 in the Mesa short. The fit in the waist was fine, but fit in the butt and thighs was more of a slim fit style. I returned these shorts.

Built for the trail, styled for everyday!
I’ve put the Sitka Territory Shorts through everything from steep hikes to weekend errands, and they’ve held up like champs. The nylon-spandex blend offers just the right amount of stretch without feeling flimsy, and the gusseted crotch makes movement effortless—whether you're scrambling over rocks or crouching under the hood of a truck. The DWR finish shrugs off light rain and morning dew, and the zippered pockets are a clutch feature for keeping gear secure.

Another quality product from Sitka! Lightweight and comfortable in the heat- these are stretchy and strong. Be aware shorts tend to fit a bit more snug that most Sitka pants meant for layering, so may need to go a size up in some cases. Grab them while you can!
