Wore these on a rocky scramble and the 5" length kept me from catching the hem on anything. The stretch fabric moves with you on steep steps without feeling flimsy.

The higher rise on these is what sold me — no gaping waistband when I bend over to pick up trekking poles. The 5" length hits right above the knee without riding up, and the fabric feels light but still tough.

Wore these on a rocky scramble and the 5" length hit right above the knee, no riding up or chafing. The slightly higher rise stays put under a pack hipbelt, which I didn't expect to notice but definitely did.
