| Review: |
SO i got these because i switched from regular BDU's to the SpecOps Ultralites. Love the Dye shorts. The cost is a bit inhibitive, and i think the padding in the legs could be a little thicker as well as the front doesn't seem to hold the kind of cup i have well, but my friend owns these too and his cup fits fine. i think the cup section could come lower between the legs so there is more lower region protection b\c if i'm flat out and shooting i could still take one in the family jewels...no fun. As for the ability to wick moisture...no doubt. these things keep me cool even with sweat running. i live in SC so the humidity is wicked bad, but these keep away the ol' "swamp crotch" sensation. there have been times i've even felt cold from the wicking effect. so that is a super nice attribute to them. they are a bit much but then again it's got dye's name on it so what do you expect. |

| Conclusion: |
Overall nice shorts. saved me from some bumbs and bruises but could use some improvement. Pricey but will keep you cool. if you live in a hot environment, consider them. |
