Royal Robbins Billy Goat Hiker

Fans of Royal Robbins—rejoice! 2016 marks a change for the company, as the Billy Goat shorts are – after a stint with cheaper materials – once again being manufactured from the same durable cotton canvas as the originals. 

The Hiker, while it doesn’t have the same stretchy waistband as the Classic Billy Goat, offers up the archetypal Royal Robbins combo of clean style and rugged utility. Hike, climb, chill—we bet these shorts are going to be a staple this summer, next and the ten after that. If you’re looking for a long pair of pants, check out the Billy Goat Stretch 6, which has a similar rugged feel, casual styling and ample stretch.
