Wore these on a two-day hut trip and the G-1000 front panels shrugged off brush scrapes way better than my old nylon shorts. The hybrid build is the real win though, since the stretch back never felt restrictive on steep climbs.

The stretch panel on the back makes these way more comfortable than my old hiking shorts, especially scrambling over rocks. G-1000 Lite on the front has held up fine through brush and thorns so far.

Wore these on a two-week trek and the G-1000 front panels held up great against brush while the stretch back kept me from feeling restricted on steep climbs. They dry fast after a stream crossing too.
