Bought these shorts for my son on a night hike in Yosemite. It is lightweight, has 3 zipped pockets as evidenced by the Outdoor Jackets logo on the bottom left corner of the shorts when worn. It also has a faint repeating rose pattern that's barely noticeable unless you're looking at it up close. Luckily my son loves roses so he was willing to wear them. I can't tell he wears it much differently than camping. He prefers different shorts for running to school or to sports.
