Great comfortable shortsA present for my man. He loves them. Wore them on a recent kayaking and camping trip. Also on a bushwalk. Reports that they are so comfortable to wear and are quick drying. Look good enough for casual wear too. He loves the secure pockets. (no more losing things out of short pockets). Great purchase.

Great for the trek, but didn't last very longBought a pair to do the Kokoda trail (7 days). Worked perfectly the whole time but the last day noticed a tear in the seams of the zipline. I'd probably get another again and test it out longer. Actual design is ideal - little pockets to store frequently needed things (hand sanitizer, bug spray, sunscreen etc).
So I definitely liked it, only just annoyed due to the rip.

Incorrect sizingBought the XL as a Christmas present, other Kathmandu XL shorts were fine but these were way too tight. I recommend buying a size up.

Good fitI have had these Aklo shorts now for a couple of months and my first observation when buying them was that they were a very comfortable fit. This has not changed and even when walking over extended periods they remain very comfortable. The only thing that I would change is the opening to the cargo pockets. It would be a lot more practical to have the zip openings horizontal and not vertical. This would enable putting things in and taking them out a lot easier.

Comfort plusI wear these shorts everyday. Lowdown side pockets with waterproof zippers excellent for traditional and electronic keys. Deep jean style pockets also and one rear jean style pocket, maybe for wallet. Super comfortable for walking, climbing and exercise.

Love em.Since buying these I don't think I have stopped wearing them. (ok slight exaggeration - I don't wear them to bed). They are comfortable. Pockets are well placed and usable.

Really versatileI brought these shorts because they had a great review. I wanted a pair of shorts that could deal with all sorts of activities and feel comfortable at the same time. So glad I purchased them that I brought a different pair.

Very comfortable on the long walksDid 9 hours of high altitude hiking in winter conditions over the weekend, and these shorts stood up well. Very comfortable without causing friction or overheating.
Only downside is the legs are not wide enough, especially for someone witha very narrow waist and big thighs.

Comfortable All-RounderI didn't think I'd like these shorts as much as I do but they've performed well on light to challenging day-hikes in cool and very hot weather, as modesty shorts over cycling lycra, and for general wear around the house and to the local shops.
They look great, the waist band is very comfortable and the zipped-pockets, one on each leg are a feature you don't know you need until it's there.

Comfortable and Great LookingI needed to buy more shorts that actually fitted better and tried these on in the store. They fitted very well and looked great. I also bought a Kathmandu quick release stretch belt to wear with them. I've worn them several times now and these shorts are light and very comfortable. The finish is excellent too. A bonus with the belt is that I'm no longer setting off the alarm at airport security.

XXL Seems to be shrinking!Usually XXL from Kathmandu fits well - I own 3 pairs of Danu hiking shorts and they fit comfortably.
These shorts are significantly smaller, though still marked XXL.
Quality of the product looks good, pockets very useful and bonus is the rear pocket which is often missing from purist hiking pants/shorts.
Wish they didn't skimp on the sizing.
I will be returning them.
