Patagonia Men's Retro Grade Shorts

A little reminiscent of 70's beach culture styling with a lot of new school every day utility, the Patagonia Retro Grade Shorts - Men's just seems to be the fit for any adventure. Its soft yet durable organic cotton/spandex blend stays cool, slides smoothly, and provides tons of mobility. A gusseted crotch and articulated knee promotes bust-a-move freedom, while its soft waist (with internal drawstring), harness-compatible belt loops, and relaxed fit give added comfort. With a 5-pocket design that includes a security pocket on the right side seam, Patagonia's longest short at 16" is recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Excellent fit and comfort
No baggy cargo pockets. Even though these are over the knee, they don't bind when sitting down. No flps on pockets either.

Rugged summer shorts
As a 6'3 tall male, it's extremely tough to find shorts that are proportional to my body and after trying these I will likely wear no other shorts. They are very durable and have a nice zipper pocket on the side hidden away as to make these shorts look very professional while still being able to play in them. Well worth the money.

Great shorts for summers outside
I love these shorts. I'm 6'4 with a 34 waist and these are some of the only shorts that I've found that go past my knees that aren't super baggy. The gusseted crotch works well when I'm riding my bike around town or rock climbing. They may be a little expensive, but well worth it.
