    The new 2 way vertical stretch is a nice improvement over the older horizontal stretch.
    I do miss the rubber material in the waistband. Overall very nice improvement over the old design

    Cant Go Wrong With These!

    The best and most comfortable shorts out there!! I got rid of all my other shorts and bought multiple pairs of the Guide Lite shorts. They are perfect for casual everyday wear and for fishing.
    I am 6'3 and ordered size 34 and they fit great.

    Awesome Shorts

    Love these shorts, planting fields, scouting, or trout fishing these are my go to shorts. Only inconvenience is no back left pocket (typically keep my phone there), which gives me a better reason to leave it in the truck.

    Guide light shorts

    Great quality like any first lite product. Just the right length, falls at the knee. I sized up based on other reviews and wished I wouldn’t have. I’m in my fat version of me now after a COVID winter, and they’ll be too big here pretty soon as I start getting in shape for elk season. That’s no reflection on FL, and these shorts are worth all the money!
