Why We Built The Backcountry Wasatch Ripstop 5in Short
"The roomy fit is perfect for climbing or hiking steep trails. I appreciate that the belt stays out of the way of my pack." —Gearhead® Expert Sammy
We built the Backcountry Wasatch Ripstop 5in Short for exploring our backyard mountain range. The stretch performance blend moves with us over fallen trees and up rock scrambles and holds strong against overreaching branches and tight squeezes.

They prevent thigh rub and look cute!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- Medium

Just received these and wore them for a 2.5 mile walk with zero thigh rub and zero shorts creeping up. The high waist is super comfortable. The curved leg shape is flattering and cute, roomy without being baggy. Basically, most of the benefits of mens shorts but look and feel feminine. If you're between sizes, get the smaller of the two sizes you wear. The side pockets are a little shallow (they would stick out the bottom of the shorts if they were much deeper) but have zippers to prevent your things from falling out. 10/10!

I love my new Ripstop 5" Shorts in black and gold. I'm a curvy5'-3" size 8 and the small fits me perfectly. I love the built in belt and zip closed pockets--and they are feather light. I've been wearing them around town and am looking forward to hitting the trails with them soon!

Sizing is off and material feels cheap
I wanted to love them but the sizing is way off and for over $50 I would hope the material would feel like great quality but the hiking shorts I got off Amazon for way cheaper feel more durable than these. The worst part is to return I have to pay.

Look great and feel great

I’ve bought three pairs of these shorts. They are great for running cause you can anchor a water belt to the clasp so it doesn’t move. The pockets zip up and I’ve used these shorts for races with no problems. One coworker stated she really liked the shorts, so that anchors that. They fit fine for men. They’re unisex in my opinion.

Good look, lightweight

I'm a women's 8 and these are comfortable but run a little big...might've preferred a smaller size because with wear they seem to break in and stretch out and lose their shape a bit. The adjustable belt helps to tighten things up. Ok at sale price; might've returned at full price.

Cute shorts that aren’t too short

I love these shorts! I’m 5’11” and I wanted something that wouldn’t be too short for outdoor activities and these are perfect. I’m normally a 8/10 or medium/large in pants and I bought a medium. They’re slightly roomy but work perfect because you can since the waist. So I’d say they run a little large. Colors are cute, the accent color is more if a beige than yellow that I thought it was. Overall happy with my purchases
