What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"These are my go-to summer shorts for everything from morning dog walks to lazy weekends. They're soft, breathable, and have just the right relaxed fit. The wide waistband and 4-inch inseam keep them comfy without riding up, and I love the low-key style."The Evolution Shorts are what we grab when comfort is non-negotiable and simplicity is key. The North Face designed these shorts with a soft, sustainable blend of recycled polyester and climate-conscious cotton, offering breathable wear through sunny hikes, backyard hangs, and post-workout wind downs. The 4-inch inseam delivers just enough coverage while keeping the look relaxed and unfussy. A stretchy waistband with an internal drawcord lets us dial in the fit, and there’s plenty of storage with on-seam hand pockets and a clean welt pocket at the back. Part of the Circular Design collection, these shorts combine performance-minded features with mindful materials, ready to keep up with laid-back plans or spontaneous movement.
