Last summer when I was in Moab I was having such an awesome time I stayed longer. And staying longer meant I need some more clothes as I sweat in to everything I had brought with me. It was the desert in the summer… Anyhow I picked up a pair of Roscoe Outdoor Great Northern Shorts. These were actually the first piece of Roscoe gear I purchased and since then I have picked up their pants and a second pair of shorts. I also picked up their American made fleece from their Kickstarter.
The great northern shorts are a perfect balance of lightweight and tough. Great for hiking, climbing and mountain biking. Actually the look good enough I wear them for casual use all the time.
They have two front pockets, a slash pocket and two rear pockets.
I have worn the hell out of these over the last year and I have to say they are great. Baggy, but not too baggy.
You should buy a pair of these, they are great shorts for all of your outdoor activities.
