Pro Hunter Shorts for Men

Quality has only improved over the years

My first pair of shorts, which I am still wearing, were purchased in 2002 +/-, for hunting in Zimbabwe, for which I had nothing but praise: durability, comfort, appearance all receive high praise . Many years later I am still wearing them with no apparent end in sight! I just received my first new pairs and all I can say is WOW! A real nice improvement is the elastic waist which really adds to the comfort, particularly upon up and down movements through difficult terrain. The material is still light, durable, and the fit is perfect. These meet the needs of someone who will be hiking over all types of terrain, particularly in warm weather where comfort and unnecessary weight are potential issues. Needless to say I am a big fan of the product and highly recommend them for all the referenced reasons. Quite certain a few more pairs are in my near future!

Very comfortable, but brief on durability

I have owned different pairs of these PH Shorts in the last eleven or twelve years. They are very comfortable, light weight and airy in hot weather. The fabric used is very good for its intended purpose--comfort. Although, the bellow of the front portion of these front pockets tends to be easily torn when a branch is caught on the two seams of the bellow; especially where they are sewn to the bottom seam of the pockets. This creates a small cavity where a branch can be pinned and forces the tearing of the fabric while you walk or stalk through the brush. Instead of the designed bellowed front surface of the pocket, I would recommend that the design be re-thought and the bellow eliminated or a ripstop fabric panel be used on the front. This is where all of my shorts fail first (provided I do not sit much on exposed rock) and sufficient repairs in the field are temporary fixes, for a few days at best. Use in thorny brush (catclaw/wait-a-bit bush) is another concern. The fabric is easily frayed after the initial damage because the fabric is indeed very light weight and is not ripstop. If you will be travelling far from home; I would recommend packing a couple extra pairs to have in case one pair gets torn & becomes unserviceable. As for their comfort, like the TAG shirts, they are hard to beat! If one is good on their limited durability in scrubby bush and abrasions while sitting on rocks; these are very good investments to wear where heat is a concern.

The look of Africa!

Just as advertised.
