These are my favorite shorts of all time. They're super comfortable, the construction is first rate, and they look good. Ex Officio has a lifetime warranty, but I've had a pair for two years, worn it hard, and it shows no signs of wearing out or failing at any seams. These shorts are insanely well-designed with truly useful pockets and freedom of movement without being baggy. They dry fast if they get wet. My Patagonia shorts sit in the drawer, because I automatically grab these so much.
