William ★★★★★

I've worn these shorts for a couple of long day hikes and the fabric actually kept me cool even when the sun was beating down. The cut gives good freedom of movement without looking baggy, so they work fine off the trail too.

Hazel ★★★★★

After a 10-mile carry, the shorts still felt featherlight and airy; that fabric truly earns the "Trail Cool" name. The pockets are deep enough for my phone and a snack without any bounce on the move.

Daniel ★★★★★

The waistband sits flat even under a pack hipbelt, which I noticed on a twelve-mile day with a loaded bag. Pockets are deep enough to hold a phone securely without flopping around on the trail.
