What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "These shorts are my go-to for everything-paddling, hiking, fishing, you name it. The ripstop fabric is super durable, dries fast, and the pockets are actually functional. The 6-inch inseam gives them a clean, athletic look that works on the water or in town." Designed for life on both sides of the shoreline, the Howler Brothers Horizon Tech 6in Short keeps us comfortable through every dip, cast, and climb. Its quick-drying ripstop nylon fabric stands up to abrasion and dries in a flash, making it perfect for all-day adventures that blend land and water. A smart pocket layout keeps essentials secure and organized-from a zippered front stash pocket for small valuables to a reinforced pliers pocket that's ready for fishing missions. Self-draining mesh pocket bags ensure nothing stays soggy, while the streamlined fit and 6-inch inseam deliver a modern update to this Howler classic. Whether we're waist-deep in the river or lounging back at camp, these shorts are built to keep up with whatever the day brings.
