I was told in store that these never go on sale. I laughed. Here they are on sale.

They shift the regular price around all the time, especially on these. They're around $45 more often than not.
Didn't disagree there great shorts, I've been holding out for them to hit around 30-35 again.

Amen

Honest question - are they worth the 'sale' price?

I've been purchasing more UPF related outfits - got some good travel pants this year for our trip down under this December, have a few sun shirts as well now, debating taking my golf/polo shirts since they have good UPF rating - not sure if this is worth a trigger or not?

Item claims UPF 50+. I can't say I've ever gotten tanned or burned through any shorts I've ever owned, and if skin sun damage was most important I'd not be wearing shorts at all.

On the topic of UPF rated clothes, theres some good info here

I have like 4 or 5 pairs of these. They are my daily go to shorts. Comfortable and durable.

That didn't last long. They increased the sale price to $50.50.

Interesting. I don't see any tall pants, but still tall options for shirts.

These shorts are great... I have many pairs and they last and look good for a long time. I may grab a few more colours, thank you.

Not sure why this is being downvoted so much. EB, especially their First Ascent line, is quite decent for casual and activewear.

RFD name makes sense!

I am not sure they will go that low anymore ( at least during the spring/ summer season). They are retailing for around 95 now, so that will be almost a 70% discount.

I bought a pair of them during the 40% off sale last week and was able to price match ( Apparently, now you only have 7 days to price match , used to be14 days just last year.)

Thanks, OP. In for two pairs. Nice shorts. Love the zippered pockets.

Isn't too tight for putting stuff in the pickets?
