Shorts That Work

The Virtue shorts rock. Nice and super stretchy. Durable. Comfortable. They are worth every penny.

Michael B.

Perfect MTB Shorts

I bought these for MTB and love them. The length is great and they aren't baggy, plus they don't get hung up on the saddle.

Alex S.

Love These!

Really nice stretchy material, zippered pockets so your phone doesn't fall out, and the built in belt to dial in the perfect fit.

Really comfy besides the pockets

These shorts are great. I accidentally bought a size smaller than I normally buy but because they are stretchy they actually fit pretty well. I’m generally in between a medium and a large and so the stretch allows them to fit snug while not being constricting. They’re quite soft and move with me so they’ve become one of my favorite pair of shorts. The only real con is the zippered front pockets. The zipper ends up making it a bit uncomfortable to put my hands in there casually and I personally don’t need them to secure anything. It also prevents me from having my EDC knife. Other than that these are awesome.

Great Shorts for Fly Fishing in Yellowstone National Park

Love these shorts, they have already become one of my favorites. I wore them fly fishing for several days on the Soda Butte Creek and Lamar River in Yellowstone National Park last week, and I love the zippers to hold gear such as sunglasses, cell phone, fly box, clippers, etc. Ready to get another pair!

Versatile shorts for night on town or the trails

Really like these shorts, look nice enough for a dinner out, but also flexible enough to hit the trails. In between sizes a bit, but adjustable waist helps this situation. Great length of shorts and hits thigh in a great spot (5’11”).

Outstanding new fit for the best ride shorts on the market

Outstanding new fit for the best ride shorts on the market. I swear by the Hybrids but previously only used the 9” version. I’m now wearing the 7” ones and I love them even more, especially on the bike as they fit more snugly.

This is my second pair of virtue shorts

This is my second pair of virtue shorts. I’d buy a third pair if Brown were in stock. I hope they continue making the 12 inch, they are excellent for mountain biking, and you can jump in the lake go swimming or paddle boarding with them. Great shorts and a good fit and I love the built in belt.

I love these shorts as they are auper lightweight and comfortable

I love these shorts as they are auper lightweight and comfortable. The large is slightly tighter on the waist than I would prefer (I am usually a size 35 waist) bit overall, a great feel and look!

Versatile

Shorts are well made with quality materials. They are light. I can wear them for hiking all day and I can still wear it with a polo shirt out to dinner when on vacation. It’s has a nice cut to it. Not too baggy. Plenty of pockets that are secured by zippers. My favorite shorts.

Stretch allows for movement and a comfortable fit

Stretch allows for movement and a comfortable fit. Enough room in seat and thighs without having to significantly size up the waist. If pockets are loaded, the internal drawstring works well as a belt. Incredibly fast drying. Be aware that screen touches on your phone can be registered through the pocket lining. If you don't lock your screen, your phone will start doing its own thing as it bounces around in your pocket.
