Thanks Brad

 

i think that Iago’s link is really close to what I’ve got. He may be spot on in that I purchased mine from Luke’s, and, now, with the. Ew owners, they’ve added the pocket

I think Luke’s Ultralight (LUL’s) didn’t have a pocket. I am on vacation, so unfortunately, I can’t check. They are crazy light, but not very abrasion resistant.

I have Dutch Shorts in both Argon 90 and Hexon 1.0. They’re great. I bring them as swim shorts / hot spring shorts when modesty is prudent. 1oz is easy to justify.

I recommend the Hexon as its less sticky when wet and the Argon is semitransparent. Not so much that you can see the goods, but in the right light you might show a shadow

I think black argon is less revealing than other argon colors. But when I need a replace mine, I would probably get Hexon

“I have Dutch Shorts in both Argon 90 and Hexon 1.0.”

These are nylon fabric made for quilts, and hammocks, respectively.  Nylon has a reputation for getting a little stinky when used against the skin.  Any issues?
