Charcoal Grey

Enjoy the shorts a lot, they're a good fit on me (size 32 @ 5'11.5 and 180lbs), but they'll sometimes roll down a single flip at the belt loops when I'm riding or squatting down - no belt. My oldest pair started to show some definite wear after a recent 400mile, multi-day ride. I probably have about 1000miles on them, total. I think most of that is from the stretch material sliding against my Brooks B17 leather saddle. I don't wear chamois, typically. They're wearing thin in the saddle area, and are shiny in that area as well. I don't care for the side pocket, as I often run a multi tool there in my day to day, and it's always flying out. I don't like putting anything in the main pockets that can snag the mesh, so as to not to create holes, and I really like how breathable these are.

Had the last couple generations of these shorts and they were good. When I saw Handup was releasing a new-improved version, I crossed my fingers that they would be the perfect short. They are. The upgraded material and stretch factor coupled with the just-normal-shorts-style pocket configuration (but with zippers) and the belt loops makes these things totally perfect

These are great kick around riding shorts. They look good and I like the zip pockets, as someone that hates chino style pockets I was a little hesitant to get these but the zip up makes the better for riding.

While I am whole heartedly on board with every new update to these shorts for fit / functionality/ style…
I believe that the “ casual wearability “ for myself has changed.
the four way stretch fabric does great for getting rowdy on the trails , but I miss the clean look of Cotton blend and poly when it comes to wearing these 24 hrs a day.
the new material just does not ever look un wrinkled

That’s all I have to say, and a nutshell. They are perfect. The material is thin and stretchy, but feels tough and durable, the pockets are perfect, the fit is perfect, the button, the zippers, the length… They’re perfect. Everything is perfect. I want one for every day of the week but Can’t afford that right now so I’ll just buy them one at a time or keep wearing the one pair multiple times per week :-)

The color is a great fall blend!! The fit and construction is above all other similar products on the market!!!

Really good fit and plenty of pockets. Exactly what I was looking for. My only critique is that there should be a closure for the phone pocket on the right - zipper/velcro - even an internal flap or something. Probably won't fall out, but I don't really feel like finding out. Other than that will purchase again for sure.

Great fit and feel good while biking. They seem like good quality so hopefully they should hold up .

I measured 36" actual waist and, of course, size 32 is 35 actual waist and size 34 is 37 actual waist. I have returned shorts (not this brand) before for fitting too tight to wear and I have some that are a little looser than I'd like. That's what I have now with the size 34. Since the waistband is quite elastic, I'd probably order another pair in 32 to try that.

These are just really solid shorts. Comfortable, rugged/durable without being to thick or hot to ride in. I wear them to work and then right on the trail.

Perfect fit, zippered pockets. My favorite shorts by far, I'm on maybe my sixth pair but its because I wear them every day for everything

New favorite shorts on and off bike. Was concerned size 32 might be too big but are just right. Seem durable, will see over time. Plan to get a 2nd pair

Comfortable and seem to fit well. Well made for what they cost. They just will not stay up when pedaling though. Good for hiking I guess. The search continues...

Go to shorts. In my quest for the perfect pair of shorts, these definitely make my top three. Was sold on the AT pants, and the shorts are a perfect addition.

Excellent shorts 👍

This short is amazing. The side pocket for phone is what does it. Perfect for riding, no pressure being in the front or back while pedaling. And perfect for any other time, especially driving. I don’t know how many times I have had to pull my phone out of my pocket while I’m driving and if it’s in your front or back pocket, it’s such a hassle. But it’s so easy to access when it’s on the side. I literally only wear these shorts. I have a gray pair and I have a black pair, and I just rotate between them. I have shorts costing twice as much and they just stay in my drawer as a backup. But heads up, if you’re like me and you bought a pair years ago, things have changed a little bit. The sizing is a little smaller, but with the elastic it still works. And instead of a traditional button, there’s now a snap button, I think the fabric is a little bit more refined as well. But that’s basically it . would love to have these in a khaki color.

Great fit and feel . They look awesome, too . Also , they seem to be made tough .

I like the flex fit, not too snug but not too baggy

Fantastic, rugged, comfortable, look good too, unzip the pockets for some added ventilation. They dry out quickly, and quality is terrific

My body type most closely resembles Sy Snootles from Return of The Jedi. Doughy middle aged dude with chicken legs.
Relevant because I generally need a belt to keep things up.
These shorts are stretchy which makes things comfy, but they tend to slide down. I believe I bought the right size because if I hold still, there is just enough tension to hold them up without a belt. Mounting and dismounting a bike. “Fwip” they slide down. Walking the dog, “fwip” phone wallet and keys in my pocket? “Fwip”. Any larger size and there’s no way I could keep them up. It occurred to me that a smaller size fitting a bit tighter may work to keep them up. But that’s where the weak snap comes in to play.
The snap. It sucks. I can pop it open by bending over. ”Pop”. Mounting and dismounting my bike. “Pop”. Quickly distending my belly. “Pop”. Reaching down my shorts to adjust my junk? “Pop”. Open the zipper to pee standing up without having to hold my shorts up? “Pop”.
The snap pops open if you consider looking at it wrong. “Pop.”
A fabric belt solves the problem and remains fairly comfortable while riding. Less than 50% of the time I finish a ride with the snap still snapped.
They keep me cool enough. No swamp ****. Zippered pockets are a plus. I don’t wear knee pads so the shorter length is appreciated.

Fit excellent and they fit perfectly. I only had a few rides wearing them, but they are great so far.

Fabric is better flecked and softer than first pair.

This is my third pair of the shorts. I have them in 2 other colors. Excellent product great fit. My only complaint is with these ones, It has a different style of button closure. It has like a snap button where the other ones were I guess it would be called a hook and loopclosure where the button goes all the way through. With a snap button in my opinion, the people that wear these shorts, including me are active, physical, mountainbiker, gravel biker, hiker, etc., and sometimes in some conditions these buttons tend to bust open. However, that has not happened yet and I’m the kind of person that will wear a pair of shorts 3-4days in a row so so far so good.

Awesome cut and fabric

Wore these out on a ride and absolutely loved them. Will have to order more. The zipped pockets area wonderful feature.

Great pair of shorts and even better customer service. It took a few pairs to dial in the fit but overall a great product and company.

The AT Shorts feel nice and light, are super stretchy, and look great. However, the sizing is not great for me. I tried the 32 and they were really tight, almost like wearing a pair of too-big lycra shorts. I returned those for a 34 and now these are too loose. If they were not stretchy then they would be great. With the stretch they tend to work their way down my hip.

Comfy, stretchy, dry quick. Awesome!
