What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I reach for these when I want a little more coverage but still want mobility. They're comfortable against the skin, stretch well on climbs, and feel durable enough for rough trails. The pockets are practical, and the fabric doesn't feel heavy even after hours outside."We built the Wasatch Ripstop Trail Short for longer days where comfort, durability, and function matter equally. From winding trails to exploratory hikes, these shorts are made to handle varied terrain without slowing us down. The recycled stretch ripstop fabric offers a balance of toughness and flexibility, while a soft stretch-knit waistband sits comfortably through steady movement and long hours outside. Zippered hand pockets secure small essentials, and a locker loop adds easy carry options for keys or a chalk bag. Finished with a water-resistant treatment, these shorts are ready for changing conditions and extended time on the trail.
