Yeah, a lot of the stuff doesn't seem all that functional. And how about the length of a lot of the women's shorts? I prefer longer shorts (which means I'm happy that Bermudas are in style right now) but it's not that easy to find women's hiking shorts etc. that go past mid-thigh. Kind of annoying.
