The stretch in the nylon-spandex blend is the real deal—I could high-step over rocks without them riding up. Breathable enough that I didn't overheat on a sunny climb, and they still look decent for coffee after.

Wore these on a three-hour slot canyon hike and the stretch never once felt restrictive on the scrambles. The nylon-spandex blend breathes way better than my old cotton shorts, and they dried fast after a creek crossing.

Wore these on a canyon hike and the breathability really held up in the heat. Only gripe is the waistband runs a bit snug, so size up if you're between. The stretch in the recycled nylon-spandex blend moves well on scrambles too.
