So far so good. I like the pocket configuration. It’s particularly nice to have one zippered rear pocket. I actually had a pickpocket try to snag my wallet in Madrid and that provided enough protection for me to notice.My only hesitation about these is the fact that I purchased two pairs of the pants and they ripped at the seat. It’s a thin fabric.If you’re not used to merino and think it will be hot, it’s not at all. If anything I find it cooler than cotton. I do a lot of cross country bike riding and always use merino. It wicks better than cotton and doesn’t have to be washed after every use. It also smells better than synthetics. Never going back. This company makes great merino tshirts too.I've worn these shorts for a day, and they're very comfortable. The stretch is just right, and they move with you when you're active. The design is top-notch, the cut is perfect, and the material is excellent. I expect to be wearing these for the next decade or more.After washing according to manufacturer's instructions, the shorts did not shrink, and actually became more comfortable.One point off because they're made in China, and because Woolly had the audacity to use "Made in PRC" instead of "Made in China" on the tag.I originally ordered these at size 30 hoping they wouldn't be too small. Returned them because they seemed just barely too small. Got the 32 and they fit just right; almost felt I could do a 34 but decided to just wear the 32s. After 24 hours of use... I wish I had kept the 30s as the waist stretched out a good inch give or take. Going to reorder and just donate the 32s to some lucky someone. These pants are that good in every other regards.I've been buying and returning shorts for months looking for the perfect pair for casual use and for hiking. And there are finally a keeper.They fit perfectly, they have some stretch, they aren't too baggy, and they're mostly merino wool.These are great quality. Only reason for the 4 stars is they run small. I ended up returning them because of it. I own another pair of Merino Wool shorts that are nowhere near the same quality of these though.These look great but run small. I had to return them Seller took them back no problem.Soft, light-weight, stretchy, comfynice partial wood shorts. color bleed a little the first 2 washs. but was fine afterwards. very comfortable in hot weather. stretches as you use it.
