Wearable, technical hiking shorts were the exception rather than the rule not that long ago. But the game is changing and quickly. The 8 Pocket Hiking short from CAYL is a bang up-to-date take on a looser old-school hiking short, produced in a lightweight nylon with slash hand pockets, and multi-faceted scooped pockets. Finished with an integrated webbing belt and gusseted crotch for ease of movement.
