What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "These are the shorts I grab when I don't know how the day will unfold. They stretch easily, dry fast, and the pocket layout is actually useful. I like that the drawcord can be worn inside or out, and the fabric feels light without being flimsy." We pull on the Mesa Short when the day calls for flexibility-mentally and physically. Topo Designs built these shorts to move seamlessly between trail time and town stops, offering comfort and performance without locking us into a single activity. The lightweight recycled nylon fabric dries quickly and stretches in every direction, making movement feel natural whether we're hiking, biking, or just staying on the go. An elastic waistband with an adjustable drawcord keeps the fit dialed, while multiple pockets-including a secure zip pocket-let us stash essentials with confidence. These shorts are the kind of all-around adventure partner we end up wearing far more than planned.
