What's Your Favorite?

You know for the light and fast crowd - the REAL hikers - instead of for the slow, short winded, and massively laden down with crap crowd.

Yup running shorts for me, running tights under in colder weather. Studies have shown that shorts allow you to go .15mph faster than the massively laden down pants wearers, .29mph faster than the snail pace zip offers. That really allows you to channel your inner skurka and go zipping through all the cool scenery.

i did wear very light weight Sahara non convertible pants in the desert.

Ave Skurka. What a real hiker. Solid reviews based on actual experience too.

I got a good chuckle out of this, Malto. The numbers nerd (me) is hoisted with his own petard!

If I may, I've admired and planned from your numbers, nerd.

I wear A 5 inch running shorts most of the time ,even when it is colder out I wear them over my leggings.
I actually picked up 6 pairs of new balance 5 inch shorts recently on A great deal so think I am good to go for awhile lol.

Under Armour running shorts with the mesh insert.

Skins and 2XU compression shorts, nothing else needed!

Rei zip offs are some of the best for cold weather or wind. I wear them everyday year round working outside they last about 4-5 years and then your wallet will wear a hole or the wallet pocket will fail. I have about 7 pairs. And just tossed my oldest pair yesterday for this exact reason. But I highly recommend them. Personally over Columbia or north face in a similar style. I have tried a lot of this style of pants and am by far the happiest with rei.
