The North Face Paramount Ascent Short - Women's
Very Pleased.
I typically shy away from shorts and opt for capris or long hiking pants simply for coverage and comfort. However, these shorts fit well and do not ride up or bunch as some shorts often do. The length is great, falling maybe five inches above the knee. And while I usually struggle to find a nice fitting ratio between hip and waist the elasticity in the waist band keeps them snug at a lower rise, so that they don't fit like "Mom Jeans" hitched up to my true waist. Very comfortable.
Great shorts!
I bought these for hiking and I love the fit, the amount of pockets, and how quickly they dry. They do shrink a tiny bit in the wash, so if you are fluctuating between which size to buy I suggest the larger.
Perfect shorts
I bought these for hiking and I couldn't be happier. The fit is wonderful, and the plethora of secure pockets (VELCRO and zipper) make it easy for me to carry everything I need. Also, the material dries extremely fast, which makes them perfect for long hikes where I have to cross streams. My only regret is not buying an extra pair.
Great shorts for any trip
I recently took these on a trip to Belize and Guatemala. Hiking, caving and kayaking. A great all around piece of clothing. Dry quickly, don't stain and have lots of pockets.
perfect
