It takes a lot of soul searching to change something you love like the Tech Shorts. But, we searched and searched anyway and it turns out, we have quite a bit of soul here at Arborwear. We contoured both the hand and cargo pockets for easy and ergonomic hand entry, lined the hand pockets with mesh for added breathability and added a Teflon protector for oil and water resistance just in case you get caught in an oil storm. We hear those are nasty.
