I wanted to find a pair of shorts to wear hiking and backpacking that had a double seat. These shorts accomplish that and they are so well made in every respect, have excellent features, and very comfortable to wear. I had heard of Fjallraven but this is the first of their products that I purchased. They are expensive, but the quality is excellent. You get what you pay for. The only negative in my mind is that there are no back pockets, but there are plenty of secure pockets up front.
