Review on 🩳 Columbia Men's Permit II Shorts by Jay Huang

Great shorts for outdoor activities. These shorts perform the same function as athletic shorts while still looking professional. I use them as shorts for hiking. They are good for the following reasons: 1) Not too long (with a 6 inch stride) - they don't get in the way on long strides/climbs 2) Very thin - they are very durable but weigh next to nothing 3) Synthetic - dries in few minutes 4) Elastic waistband - I don't need a belt 5) Comes in black - nobody can see how dirty it gets on long hikes I usually wear 34 with jeans/trousers and 34 fits me perfectly. Update January 2017 - I have run/backpacked over a thousand miles in these shorts in the last 9 months and they are just starting to wear out. The mesh in the thigh pockets is torn and the seat fabric is getting thinner/pulling. I can't believe they lasted this long. I've lost so much weight that my jeans waist has shrunk to 31 inches, but the elastic waistband of these shorts still fits me. I just can't carry anything heavier than a smartphone in it. I will buy a smaller pair to replace.
