Psht 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

I’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.
