Best built shorts and pants EVER!!!

"I have only worn these around town. BUT, I have a pair of simple pants from 6 or 7 years ago and they are still in like new condition. I have worn them to every GORUCK event and several other muddy events. Lots of crawling on cement, sand, rocks, lake bottoms, forests, etc. I have several pair of challenge pants as well. All the pants and shorts are the best built and fitting pants I ever owned! Sad that they are sold out. Hope they come back in stock soon! Pic is from 01/20/2020. I'm still using these simple pants weekly for workouts!"

Nice Shorts

"Nice durable shorts! They seem to dry fairly quick and appear to be tough enough for hard wear. The inseam length is a bit long for my taste, but I purchased a little larger size since many athletic type garments fit tighter. These actually fit a litter looser than I anticipated. I may have been able to wear the next size smaller. I use a belt to hold them up and may try a smaller size down the road. I have used them for rucking, hiking and some biking. They work pretty well for all three activities."
