Macpac Rockover Shorts - Men's

I basically live in these all year round since they are damn comfortable, never chafe (important when you have thunder thighs) and the fabric's held up to years of abuse. More so than the previous version did. Also well cut since they've never felt restrictive despite me being a fatty.

There are problems though - the stitching on my current ones is failing all over the place and the vertical zip is a pain in the rear. As it's easy for stuff to fall out if it isn't zipped out and to zip up, which isn't good if your short term memory's slightly fried.

The Rockover shorts are the third pair that I have owned. They are well designed and comfortable shorts that I wear everywhere. However, they are not as good as previous years. Firstly, the material is not as soft. Secondly the zip on the security pocket is vertical compared to the old horizontal making it less secure if it is not zipped up. Thirdly there is no key clip in the left pocket.

I have had my rockover's for 12 months now and I cant rate them high enough! I swim, paddle and live in these shorts. I love the compact zip pocket and comfortable waistband.

Seriously considering buying multiple pairs!
