Ibex Women's Gozo Utility Shorts

Favorite Shorts
I purchased the Ibex Gozo Utility shorts for hiking this Summer. The length is very flattering, not too short or long. I am 5'9" 154 lbs. Ibex measurements put me in a size 10 and they fit perfectly. The fabric is durable yet soft and the stitching is rugged. There are many features that point to high quality workmanship. I really like that the buttons are sturdily fastened to the shorts by bits of twill tape rather than thread. There is a utility cargo pocket on the right leg that is roomy but not bulky. Pocket contents are held secure, but the way the flap buttons allows easy access without unbuttoning the pocket- very handy! The back pocket flaps are curved to the body and are so flattering. Over all these are the most functional and stylish shorts - I have already hiked miles in them and wear them around town as well. I purchased the Mulch color which is a brownish khaki. It goes with everything but is more interesting than the standard khaki short. I hope to purchase a second pair in the gray. Lastly, the only Con I can come up with is that they are a little spendy. But you are paying for an organic product that is American made, and one that looks like it will last for years.
