"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I like these for longer hikes when I want more coverage and real storage. The fabric stretches enough to move comfortably, but the structured waist keeps everything feeling secure. The pockets and utility loop are genuinely useful on trail days.""We head out for long miles knowing the Leslie Falls II 9in Long Short is built to handle sun, dirt, and everything in between. Designed with extended coverage and smart utility, these shorts are ideal for full trail days where protection and function matter just as much as comfort. The close, body-skimming fit keeps things streamlined without restricting movement. Omni-Shade Broad Spectrum UPF 50 helps block harsh rays, while Omni-Shield repels moisture and resists stains to keep us clean and dry in unpredictable conditions. A structured waistband with a classic fly delivers a secure feel, while stretch fabric and a gusseted design support natural movement. With multiple secure pockets and a utility loop for added carry options, these shorts are ready for hikes that go the distance."
