Still the comfiest shorts

This is the second pair of Leif shorts I’ve had. I’ve had the first generation Leif short for a couple of years and they are absolutely fantastic. They both allow a full range of movement and do not restrict me at all in technical situations on the hills. They are almost fully water proof and it takes really wet weather to let the rain in. If they do get wet they dry very quickly.
They are so comfy and the quality of them is second to none.
I would not hesitate to recommend them or even buy another pair but for the moment 2 pairs are enough.
The integrated belt is great and makes the very comfy waistband a perfect fit to me.
The only difference, not a complaint just a difference, to the first generation is the leg seems to be just slightly shorter and the pockets are less deep. The smaller pockets make storing a smart phone very slightly less comfortable but I have got used to it now and it causes me no issues at all.
Top quality and remains the best customer service I have ever experienced.

Leif Shorts

This is my second pair of Leif shorts, but my first of these new ones.
I love these shorts for their comfort and the ease of range of movement they offer with no restrictions when I’m out in the hills. Their ability to dry very quickly, if the water even goes through them, when caught in heavy rain is fantastic. Extremely comfortable and very light, love the fit on the waistline and the integrated belt.
A total winner with me.
Couple of differences from the first generation Leif short I have and they are that I think the legs are shorter on the new ones, this isn’t a problem for me jist a difference. I also think the pockets are less deep on the new ones so not as easy to get the phone in but still doable and not an issue jist a difference again.
Wouldn’t hesitate to get another pair or recommend them.
