Engineered with high-tech, lightweight fabric that won't weigh you down, even when soaking wet.  Reinforced rear zipper pocket.  Perfect for nephew who's outdoorsy often plays in mud or sits on wet grass. They're do-it-all shorts that transitions perfectly.

The Rec Trek Shorts are designed for all-day action with a comfortable inseam and Bio Dry fabric that keeps body cool and dry. With Bio Anti-Odor technology and UPF 50+ sun protection, they stay fresh while protecting you outdoors. Their abrasion-resistant construction makes them tough, reliable, and perfect for every adventure.

Shorts are cool, simple and plain for a young boy to play around in. Because it's not summer yet I don't know how comfortable they would be outdoors but they seem to be well made and like they will hold up to a busy young man.

These shorts were a miss for us. I'm not sure why they are so highly rated, but we live in FL so that could be the disconnect. We need soft LIGHT fabrics - this is a very heavy almost hard material. It doesn't match the cloud tee for kids. We're returning. These also run a little different size wise, whereas my son is a true 6/7 and the M shirt was good, these shorts would have been better in a S but we're returning.

Seems nicely made but they are a sort of parachute material that is stiff and makes a crinkly sound when you move. These are not a tech short/running short material. My son did not like how they felt - returning.
