A few years ago I got some fairly light shorts from a running company, but they are still not as light/compact pack size for the short length as my Dynamo wind pants. For example, they have a small zippered key pocket and fairly wide waist.
Recent trip was a great example. 2 day, 1 night bike touring, so I was wearing spandex bike shorts with a whammy for the ride. Once in camp, I want to get out of those. Mostly I was planning on long pants, for warmth in the am and bug protection both evening and morning.
But the whether was forecast to be hot, and the campground was at a lake, so I wanted to swim and perhaps lounge in shorts if the temps were high and the bugs low.
So considering the minimal use, I just want something as small and light as possible. What’s the most minimal short out there?
