I really wanted to like these first time ordering from Duluth as well as this brand. Definitely disappointed at the price point that they are at. They don't breathe at all and they feel more like workout/bike shorts. Too stretchy don't feel they will last at all under work conditions. For the price point, they're at they should be 100% cotton of a heavy mil. I like the layout I like the pockets, but that's pretty much where it ends. The lack of breathability is a dealbreaker for me, which is attributed to the nylon in the spandex. Seems like many manufactures today are chipping out on 100% cotton, adding dies and as a future when really it just takes away from the overall product wearing shorts outside in the heat and not having them breathe properly is a dealbreaker and no, please don't add that other fabric that wicks away moisture just use cotton. They've been using it forever and it breathes.
Men's AKHG Stone Run 10" Shorts
“Street clothes” are fine for the most part, but not quite as useful when the streets you roam end in a dirt path, stand of spruce or river of rocks like they do in most of Alaska. We made Stone Run™ gear to walk a fine line. It’s made of a rugged 7-oz. cotton/nylon blend that looks good when ducking into a hotspot watering hole, but can handle the scrapes if you range further than indoor plumbing dares to venture. Built for freedom of movement, with 3% spandex in the fabric to flex plus a Crouch Gusset® for more room where you’d appreciate it most. Waterflect™ finish sheds drizzle, bar spills and ocean spray. If you’re the sort that can’t be confined to a single setting, put Stone Run on and roam wherever the day takes you.

These 10" AKHG shorts have excellent moisture wicking, such that I wear them when kayaking. The fabric is truly phenomenal. They look great, especially since they aren't cargo shorts with bulky pockets, yet they have 7 functional pockets for superb storage capacity as far as shorts go. The zippered phone pocket is massive so that it'll fit any of these modern, gigantic phones. These are suitable for a night out in the city, or a hike. They fit true to size for me.
I like that they have the elastic which does make them easier to move and stretch in them. All in all a well made good looking pair of shorts.Right
These are nice shorts. I usually wear a 36" waist. I ordered a pair in that size and they were too big. I returned them and ordered a 34" waist and they were too small, so I will be returning these. Very frustrating. I do wish you offered odd waist sizes (33, 35, and 37). Until then, no more shorts.
This is my 2nd pair of Stone Run shorts, they run a little small, I usually take a 36, but had to go with a 38. They are tough but really comfortable and fit amazing. I like the pocket styles and the phone pocket is great. They ran out last year, and I wish they had a tan color, but still my go to summer shorts.
