I have the long, zip off pants version of these shorts and love them.  When needing shorts for a trip, I was pleased to find these.

Size:  These do run small.  I had to go up a size from the long pant version of the same thing.

Comfort:  Nice length and comfortable.  There is some give to the fabric so it moves with you but doesn't stretch out or become baggy as you are wearing them.

Color:  This color goes with everything and also doesn't show dirt.

Weight:  Light weight but has enough substance that the shorts don't ride up or feel flimsy.

Performance:  I wore these on the walk up to the top of Diamond Head in Honolulu and they perfect.  I also wore them kayaking up a river on Kauai and then on an extremely muddy, 2-mile hike through the rain forest.  They got wet but never felt clammy against my skin and dried out quickly.

Bottom line:  Perfect, perfect, perfect.  Will be using these on future trips and adventures.  I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.
