Virtue Hybrid Shorts 9"

Love the pants so much had to get another in green!

Great shorts! super comfy and stretchy, perfect for travelling and hot climates. loved it so much ordering some more.

These look and feel like regular shorts with the extra perk that you can wear them in the water.

I don’t like carrying extra swimwear on the off chance I need it during a trip and now I don’t have to.

My only request is that they come in solid brown instead of heather.

The shorts are super nice but waist size is too big.
I will return for store credit

Great travel shorts for me! I prefer traveling light and need apparel I can hike and be in the city with. This time I also needed something I could get in lakes and rivers in. These are very comfortable. Used in most my hikes in Switzerland and, for the most part, they stay in place. After a lot of hand washing and use, they can start feeling loose but the drawstrings help keep them up. Love the fit and the feeling. Light and packable. I didn't end up using them in the water yet, but they did take a bit longer than I would have wanted to dry after hand washing at the hostel. I still bought another pair because of their versatility.

The devil is in the details. Everything about these shorts is just perfect. The sewing quality is immaculate. And all the extra details make these the perfect shorts.

Best shorts I’ve worn that work for going around town or going on a hike. Not my first pair and certainly won’t be my last.

I love how stretchy they are. Made out of light material without being too swishy.

I purchased the Virtue Hybrid Shots 7” specifically for travel to the Mediterranean. We are visiting Malta for 5 weeks and wanted packable shorts that look nice for dinners out, are extremely durable and pack well/don’t wrinkle. The added bonus with these shorts is you can also swim in them. In a word these shorts are Brilliant!!! I pair them with Departed Featherweight T Shirts and am as comfortable as possible in Malta’s Mediterranean August weather! I also bought a couple of pair of Tomfoolery shorts. All Ketl Mtn products are exceptionally quality and vaue for travel.

Great!

The Virtue Hybrid Shorts was everything I expected - and beyond. Managed to field test it at a recent trip to the Grand Canyon and Yosemite NPs and they did not disappoint. They were lightweight, quick to dry and very sun-protective in the scorching weather. A big plus for me was that they did not cause any chaffing despite the long hours and endless miles on the trail. Together with the NoFry Sun Hoodie, they made an excellent combination and I cannot wait to use them again for my next adventure.

Nice, light short. Very comfortable. zippered pockets make them great for travel.

Great all around shorts. Durable, quick drying, and they don’t look like traditional swim trunks which is great moving between active and casual.

Best shorts! Dry fast, great for hiking, surfing etc. but also look nice enough to wear out. Great zippered 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.

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!
