Poor durability, excellent fit

Excellent fit and feel. Worn throughout the summer for running. I have two holes in the leg despite no abrasion or punctures. Poor durability and value proposition.

Great shorts

Nice material makes them very light and comfortable. Fit as expected and are a great athletic length. if you have larger than a 40 waist the XL's will be very tight.

Light weight shorts

These shorts are great for around the house and sporting activities. I usually through them on after I get all cleaned up in the evening and were them around the house. I think the would be great for running, working out, and other sports. I probably would not recommend them for anything in the field except fishing. They arm well made and very comfortable.

Riser Active Short

We hold youth fishing camps at the Outerbanks at Oregon Inlet, NC. These shorts performed well. Would like the addition of a side or back pocket. I like the zips on both front pockets.

They have become my favorite pair of shorts to wear! Fit really well. They are breathable and dry really fast when you get them wet. Definitely need a pair for each day of the week! I hope more colors become available!

I always get a little skeptical when Sitka releases new everyday wear and every time I buy something it becomes a favorite pretty quickly. These shorts are just flat out great and I highly recommend.
