Horizon 2.0 Hybrid Short

When you're hiking on a hot summer day you'll want to jump right into the first swimming hole you can find, and with the quick-drying Howler Brothers Horizon 2.0 Hybrid Short you'll be able to cool off to your heart's content and head right back onto the trail. Made with a durable nylon ripstop that dries in a flash, this versatile short is perfect for a day of hiking, paddling, fishing, swimming, or even just bopping around bustling beach towns. It's designed for comfort in and out of the water, with an adjustable drawstring waist that'll keep your fit secure when you get knocked around in the waves or leap from your favorite cliff-jumping spot. The mesh pocket bags drain quickly and don't drag in the water, and with plenty of pockets to go around you can bring along all the gear you need for the day's activity.

Great shorts

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

Picked these up looking for a comfortable, lighter-weight short and these are on point. Very comfortable, good length for me (not too short or long) and lightweight fabric. Great for hitting the trails, fishing, wearing around town or whatever life brings. Plan to get more as these are becoming my new favorite shorts.

34 runs small

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it

I'm a 33 in everything else I wear and took a chance on a 34 in these as I had heard they run small. The 34 was still too tight to be comfortable. The legs were a bit large and flowy on top of this. Nope.

GREAT OVERALL SHORT

Familiarity:
I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Gave this as a gift to my husband and has worn them all summer long. Great casual and comfy short. Very light weight but made out of durable material.

Love Hybrid pants.

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I'm never buying any other kind of pants Why buy shorts AND swimming trunks? Why have more than 5 pairs of shorts? Between these and the backcountry brand I am set for the next few years. BUT, I'll be sure to come back here and buy another couple pairs when these are through. I think that might be a decade or so though. Lifelong customer The perfect gift too !

Don?t insult these shorts with underwear

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

These are the ultimate utility shorts! I?ve routinely taken them from the bike, to the water, to the bar and they handle the task with aplomb! I love the internal draw string for fine-tuning the fit when they get wet. Be warned though they will dry faster than your underwear. Don?t wear undies and problem solved!

Amazing shorts - I own three pairs

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

Howler Brothers horizon 2.0 hybrid shorts are my new go-to shorts. Pocket layout is perfect with zippers and snaps just where you want them. Fit is perfect for me and runs true to size.

Trouble with sizing

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I wear a size 33 waist in just about every brand I've come across. I order these in 34 because 33 was not available at that time. Received the shorts, great material, functional pocket layout, but they felt way bigger than 34. Luckily they have a drawstring so you can cinch them up. Flash forward a month, I decide to order another pair and do so in my usual waist size of 33. They arrive and I can barely button them. I decided to keep them anyway. Just be aware of the somewhat weird sizing. Otherwise, a decent pair of shorts for water fun.
