Any of you planning summer camping trips would be smart to check out Cold Splinters for tips on where to hike, how to stay dry once you get there, and now, the perfect pair of shorts to wear when climbing through the rocky abyss. Blogger and woodsman Jeff Thrope has crafted a pair of shorts with a comfortable elastic waist that are made from a durable poly blend, hitting at the perfect place on the thigh to ensure maximum flexibility. Head over to his site to pick up a pair and re-read the fantastic column Take a Hike that he wrote for The FADER after some expeditions last year.
