Very comfy, great fit and generous pockets. I can fit all my essentials; phone, keys, wallet, lip balm, handkerchief, sunglasses. Only wish the flaps had a secure closure. The flaps are heavy enough that things don ’ t fall out and the third pocket zips shut. Still a win.

I bought two pairs of these and I absolutely love them. I ’ m pear- shaped and short( 5 ’ 1 ”) and these are flattering, not too tight, and not too short. Plus, they have all these fun pockets without being bulky or silly looking. They will be perfect for summer walks/hikes or just cute with a t- shirt in the backyard.

Finally shorts I can wear! I ’ m in my 50s and petite( 5 ’ 3 ” and 125- ish) with an athletic build, so I have thighs and a butt. These shorts in a medium fit comfortably without being tight or baggy, and don ’ t ride up! Amazing! I ’ ve been wearing them casually, on weekends, and even just walked a very sweaty 5K road race while wearing them! No ride- up, no chafing. I should probably buy another pair now while I ’ m thinking about it.

Love these shorts! I bought all the colors. They are lightweight, fit well, slightly stretchy, and dry quickly if wetted. They go well with a standard tee or a dressy shirt

Was looking for some lounging shorts- and these are near perfect. I have not been able to find that mesh pocket on the center back... nor did my pair have the Nut logo on the right rear thigh. These are n't deal breakers to me, but descriptive accuracy is lacking.

I travel quit a bit and wanted a pair of shorts that I could work out in, trail run, swim in, etc. Also wanted something that would dry quickly. These are great for that. I generally wear a shorter inseam specifically or trail running, but this inseam was a more modest and `` everyday comfortable '' approach. Got the shorts with the AirShell Hoody and together they 're a great combo. Would recommend as a all purpose trail short.

[ Employee of mountainhardwear] I 've been wearing for a few weeks. These are turning into my workout shorts. Have done done a few base training runs and they 're comfortable and feel great. I 'm not sure I would wear them on a really long run but did 90min run in them and they were great. Will use them for camping/ hiking/ swim combo this summer for sure. I 'm a 33 '' waste and the L fits great.

5 John G
Super lightweight and comfortable. Have to two front pockets, with they had one in the back so you can wear them as everyday shorts if you needed.

Frequently Asked Questions For Mountain Hardwear Hiking Shorts

When choosing hiking shorts, consider features such as moisture-wicking fabric, breathability, and quick-drying properties.

Additionally, consider shorts with built-in UV protection if you'll be hiking in sunny conditions.

Hiking shorts are typically made from lightweight, durable materials like nylon or polyester, which offer excellent moisture management and breathability. Some may also include spandex for added stretch and comfort during movement. It's important to choose materials that can withstand rugged terrain while providing comfort.

Yes, there are various styles of hiking shorts designed for different activities. Some are tailored for lightweight day hikes, while others are built for more rugged terrain and longer treks.
