These are Kuhl shorts and I love them. I purchased them when I lost weight, unfortunately bounced back a bit and had to "upgrade". These are great shorts, lots of comfort. Very lightly worn, I didn't stay that small for long. Kuhl shorts are amazing and last forever. They have large hidden zippered pockets on the sides along with the painters pockets and a hidden pocket behind the left leg. These are great for a day on the river, at the lake, camping, or even just running errands around town. They dry instantly and have a drying hanger on the back. I guess this is an odd case where I can say my gain is your gain ;)
