I found a pair of these in the thrift shop two years…

Price Paid: $2, then 2x $36

I found a pair of these in the thrift shop two years ago, and have loved them dearly ever since. Very light and comfortable, my go-to short for hiking, swimming, biking and often all three in a day.

I could never figure out the model name until I came across them in a sales rack (in XL, much too big for me) and scratched down the info. The Eiger is discontinued which has prompted me to invest in a couple of pairs via online. Having looked at the options, I went with Zappos even though it was a bit more expensive than Campmor. They had the very nice green as well as grey.

I can't say enough about them, and strongly encourage everyone to check them out.
