- ethbr1 2y agoShort-shorts love those who don't skip leg day. And thruhikers never skip leg day.
- wyclif 2y agoI'm an AT hiker but I hate the short-shorts. I prefer the length to be just above the knee. If you've ever walked through a tall patch of poison ivy before you noticed what it was, you'll understand.
- elif 2y agoPsht class of '07 Give me the shortest running shorts pls and I'll cut the extra fabric like pockets off. The only brush you'll walk thru on the AT is off trail so just don't walk in poison ivy lol
- plants 2y agoI’m in the shortest-shorts camp too. Less about the UL-value of the shorts, more about the mobility to lift my leg as high as I can (specifically to reduce friction going uphill). When you take literally millions of steps on a thru-hike, even the smallest things start to add up.
