We’ve found that, every once in a while, it’s good for the soul to steal away on a quick adventure.  Maybe it’s a trip to the local state park, or a last minute decision to head towards the coast for a night or two.  Whatever it is for you, having that time away from the chaos of every day life is never a bad thing.  Lately, one of our favorite brands when it comes to adventure type gear is Topo Designs.  Their Mountain Shorts will definitely be coming along on our next adventure.

What we like most about Topo Designs is that their wares are not only functional, but they look great too.  In the case of the Mountain Shorts, you’ll find 100% cotton ripstop fabric that is built to take a beating, yet cut just a bit slimmer for a cleaner look.  Don’t worry, they’re not anywhere close to so slim that they won’t function how you need them too.  Finished off with a built in belt for a perfect fit, the Mountain Shorts are available in Navy, Black, and Olive.  Once again, our pick is Navy.  One of these days we’ll go with something else.  Maybe.
