From Patagonia:
"Endorphin rushes need not be restricted to the 100-mile ultra runner. Multi-pocketed, loose and long, these shorts have a versatility that makes any endurance event addictive. The new ripstop polyester fabric is lightweight, quick to dry and chafe-free. Ultras feature an elastic waist with drawcord, two front drop-in pockets, two large back pockets (with three short stitched compartments for secure storage), two narrow side pockets for gel packs, a gusseted crotch and a Capilene??? liner. Cut fuller and longer than Long Haul Runners. Inseam, size M, is 9""."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Patagonia Men's Ultra Shorts are made for people who don't know when to quit. These relaxed-fit, lined running shorts are stacked with streamlined pockets designed for carrying energy gel and bars. Patagonia made the Ultra Shorts from a thin, lightweight nylon ripstop which has a fast dry time and non-chafing comfort. The breathable, built-in polyester brief wicks moisture to the fabric's surface where it can evaporate. When the sun's going down and you have 15 more miles to cover, just grab your reserves stashed in the two specially-sized side pockets and keep rolling."

From RockCreek:
"Patagonia's Ultra Shorts are a long-cut, multi-pocketed version of the popular Baggies , designed for maximum comfort over long distances. Patagonia took their popular Baggies and gave them a high-mileage makeover. These long-cut, quick-drying Ultra Shorts use lightweight 50-denier ripstop polyester with a wicking finish to stay cool and comfortable mile after mile. Two deep, drop-in back pockets are darted to keep gels from bouncing around; two side and two front pockets disperse the load. With an elastic drawcord waist for comfort, and a lightweight, breathable built-in liner for moisture-wicking performance. Reflective heat-transfer logo. Inseam (size M) is 9". Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program."

"Typically high quality product from Patagonia. Well conceived and executed for the most part.

What I like:
super light weight, very comfortable liner fabric, comfortable waistband even under a pack strap, lots of pockets, fabric dries very quickly after getting wet, high-quality construction."
