What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These shorts are my go-to for paddleboarding, hiking near water, or just hanging out on hot summer days. The lightweight nylon dries super fast, and the Omni-Shade™ UPF 30 keeps my legs protected from the sun. I love the elastic waist with the drawcord because I can adjust the fit perfectly. Plus, the zippered back pocket is great for keeping small essentials secure!"

Outdoor Enthusiast Wardrobe Staple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great short overall. Lightweight and comfortable, although I wish they had a bit more stretch. Perfect for outdoor activities and wearing around town. I prefer these to competitors' versions.

Perfect Summer Shorts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shorts! They are very lightweight which makes them perfect for summer activities. I love to wear mine hiking, kayaking, long walks on the beach or really any outdoor activity. They keep me cool and they are very quick to dry if I’m sweaty or if it’s raining. They’re the perfect summer short!
