Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Women's Trailhead Shorts, 9 in.:
I too was looking for a Compass Short replacement and was directed to the Trailhead. Everything that was great about the Compass shorts is missing. Every spring I would buy the Compass shorts because they were perfect for hiking but dressy enough to go out in. The rise of the Trailhead is much too short- they ride very low on the hips. They may look more stylish to some people this way, but from a utility standpoint they fail. Wake up call to EMS- you're an outfitter for enjoying the outdoors, not just another place to buy everyday clothes. I don't like the zip pockets- I have to have both hands free and articulate the zipper with fingers. With the Compass shorts, the Velcro strip held the pockets closed very nicely and I could reach into my pockets by just pushing one hand in and breaking the Velcro tab open. Over all the years I wore the Compass shorts, I never lost anything out of my pockets no matter what strange positions I was sometimes in on the trail. I also don't like the waist of the Trailheads at all- it is not adjustable thus uncomfortable and as I mentioned, the rise is way too short and the "waist" sits on my hips like low riders. With the Compass shorts I could adjust my waist very nicely with the belt provided and the shorts sat at my waist. With the Compass short, when I was on the trail and would bend over or be in other awkward positions you didn't have to worry about revealing your bottom. With the Trailhead, showing one's bottom while bending over is a sure thing. It is just not a hiking/outdoor short like the Compass Shorts AND pants were. I strongly urge EMS to bring back the Compass series.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Women's Trailhead Shorts, 9 in.:
I thought these shorts were very well made and nice to look at. Unfortunately, I had to return them, because the waist was too low and the rise too short for my comfort. I am looking for a short to replace the Women's Compass Shorts 9", but these were not as comfortable for me.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Women's Trailhead Shorts, 9 in.:
I ordered the Trailhead Shorts for a several reasons: I couldn't find hiking shorts in my size locally; I wanted hiking shorts in black; and hiking in Florida means wearing anything that wicks away moisture. That's what I found in the Trailhead Shorts. These shorts are great! They fit perfectly - exactly as described. They're stylish, so I could wear them to run errands if I chose to. I like them so much, I'll be ordering another pair soon.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Women's Trailhead Shorts, 9 in.:
The shorts wear great and look great. I wore them on vacation and they were easy to wash by hand and wear. They went from exploring caves and markets to dinner in a nice casual resturant. Now I wear them at home for work as a massage therapist.
