MY SUMMER UNIFORM
I am a fly fishing guide and spend a lot of time on the river. These shorts are my summer uniform. Supremely comfortable with lots of pockets. I have four pairs and wear them on and off the water.
John Berry | August 16, 2018Long lasting, comfortable shorts
Comfortable, long lasting shorts that you will love wearing as they break in and enjoy even more once they get to the point you like them most. Lots of pockets for whatever you need to carry.
Steve Phifer | August 2, 2018Bulletproof
Best shorts ever. I have 8 pairs and wear them daily. Some are over 10 years old.
George LeBeau | July 24, 2018Ready to work
Along with a pair of muck boots, these shorts are an essential part of my VT summer farm work kit. Simple and rugged with enough pockets to be useful. Add to that that you can dress them up and take them out, and they're just about all I need.
RT | June 27, 2018Outstanding, comfortable shorts
The only shorts I wear. Extremely comfortable and never seem to show dirt. Love the extra front pocket on the right side and cell phone pocket fits my iPhone 6s perfectly. Also outstanding customer service. All round great company to deal with.
