    Hi Craig! Thanks for the feedback about the MOAB STRETCH COTTON SHORTS 9". We're glad to hear you found them strong and durable, but we're definitely bummed that the waistband stretch and wrinkling are causing issues for you.

    Your specific notes about the limited waist stretch and the fabric wrinkling are exactly what our design team needs to hear. We want our shorts to perform better in both comfort and appearance, and it sounds like we missed the mark on those fronts with this style.

    Thanks for taking the time to share this honest feedback. It helps us understand where we need to improve our fit and fabric performance.
