"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve seen these shorts go from hiking trails to swimming holes without skipping a beat. The FlashDry-XD fabric dries fast, feels light, and resists snags, so they’re perfect for long summer days outside. The 5-inch length adds just a bit more coverage, and the phantom print reveal when wet is always a hit.""Whether it’s a trail hike, a jump in the lake, or a day spent exploring the campsite, the Class V 5in Short from The North Face is built for all-day outdoor fun. The lightweight recycled polyester ripstop with FlashDry-XD technology keeps us dry and comfortable through quick transitions from land to water while holding up against rough wear. We love the easy fit and adjustable waistband that move with us, plus the water-reactive print that adds an extra splash of surprise when we dive in. Designed with sustainability in mind, these shorts follow The North Face’s Circular Design philosophy—ready to be recycled and reborn into future adventures when their first journey is done."
