Was $69.00 Now $25.00 For a casual walk or casual outing, try the Berk Short. This lightly brushed organic cotton canvas has a relaxed fit with stitch detailing. Machine washable.
The length is past my knee and looks spunky and works for hiking and working outdoors but can be rolled up above the knee for another look. Organic cotton stays fresher longer so I can get multiple days of use.

Comments about Ibex Berk Short:
Great shorts with a flattering fit but they run a size small. I usually wear an 8 and needed a 10 in these, and even those are fairly snug. These shorts would be absolutely perfect if the material had a little stretch to it. The heavy weight cotton doesn't give much and the style is pretty form-fit through the hips and waist (fine as long as you're standing!). Could use one or two pockets on the rear as well.

Comments about Ibex Berk Short:
I have three pairs of these pants (one of every color) They go every where with everything, they always look good. I'm a slender person, and these are the only shorts that fit well - and I've tried all the better makers. Also - they don't show dirt or wrinkles, so they are great for travel.

Comments about Ibex Berk Short:
Usually wear a size 6 in Ibex bottoms but had to exchange for a size 8. Once I got the right fit I ordered the other two colors - the length is appropriate anywhere, the material is durable and the right fit is quite comfy!

Comments about Ibex Berk Short:
I wore these shorts over the weekend at a soccer event. They were comfortable, and perfect for the occasion. I could easily have gone to a casual restaurant in these shorts. I bet they will make good golf shorts as well.

these were quite nice and i liked the length, but the fabric was a little heavy for hot weather and while i fit into a size 4 in ibex pants, the size 4 berk shorts were too small.

Nice fit and feel. Probably not for 100 degree weather, but that only rules out a handful of days. Will be a pair to wear anytime and everywhere.

These shorts are great, I'm impressed by their durability, finally a pair of shorts that can keep up with me. Whether I'm biking, climbing, or making pottery these shorts are perfect. The color was much brighter in person than pictured online.

Comments about Ibex Berk Short:
I haven't worn these yet beyond trying them on. They fit nicely but are slightly longer than I expected. I washed them once and they held up well. I bought the men's version for my husband and accidentally left them in the hot dryer against the recommendations, but they fit him fine. The fabric feels very comfortable, though not for super hot weather (probably 80 or below) due to the weight of the fabric.
