What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like these for long summer days when plans shift from hiking to trail running. The 4-way stretch fabric moves easily on steep climbs, and the elastic waistband stays comfortable under a pack. They dry quickly after sweat or light rain, and the PFC-free water-repellent finish handles splashes well. I also appreciate that they pack down small for multi-day trips." From winding forest approaches to fast-moving trail runs, we trust the ValgrandeM Mountain Short from Maloja to keep up with every turn of the day. Lightweight and versatile, they're built for movement when the miles stretch long and the temperatures climb high. The recycled polyester blend delivers 4-way stretch for unrestricted mobility, while a PFC-free water-repellent finish sheds light moisture along the way. Quick-drying performance keeps us comfortable through high-output efforts, and the elastic waistband offers a secure fit whether we're wearing a pack or heading out light. With triple-stitched durability, spacious pockets, and a packable design, these shorts are a true summer multi-talent.
