The shorts have a nice substantial feel vs synthetic shorts and yet are very comfortable because they breathe well. They are extremely strong, they protect you from staph and other gym nasties due to hemp's natural anti-microbial properties. Featuring the same 100% Hemp twill weave that we use in our gi pants these shorts are very durable and are a great non-toxic answer to typical synthetic shorts.<br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 128, 0);"><strong>Please note due to a manufacturer labeling error on the care tags these units may show a different fabric content but are 100% Hemp</strong></span></p> <!-- split --> <ul> <li> <span style="line-height: 1.4;">Made of durable 100% Hemp twill (</span><a title="Datsusara, Why Hemp?" style="line-height: 1.4;" href="https://www.dsgear.com/pages/why-hemp">Why Hemp?</a><span style="line-height: 1.4;">)</span> </li> <li>Side split seams (3.5 inch, 9cm) for unrestricted motion</li> <li>Velcro closure with drawstring</li> <li>Reinforced stitching for strength and durability</li> <li>Hemp/Poly twill provides good grip</li> <li>Machine washable</li> <li>Featuring the Japanese Mon (crest) representing hemp </li> </ul> <div style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px;"> <h4><span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">These are true to size after washing so measure your waist if needed and pick from 30"-40", size up if in between, example, if you have a 31" waist get the 32" shorts.</span></i></span></h4> </div>
