Practical Shorts - Excellent for Overseas Trips

"My favourite pair of shorts ever from Kathmandu. They are light weight, quick drying, and comfy. Love they have decent deep sides pockets, and a zippered back pocket. I wore these overseas hiking and birding in the heat and humidity of South East Asia and they held up super well."
