"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I like these shorts when my day involves heat, water, and a lot of movement. They dry fast, handle splashes and spills easily, and the pockets are actually useful. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day, whether I’m on the trail or near the water."" We stay out longer in the Sandy River Cargo II 6in Short, especially when the day blurs the line between trail and water. Built for warm, active conditions, these shorts balance comfort, coverage, and storage so we can keep moving without worrying about sun, splashes, or messes. They’re an easy pick for hikes, river days, and casual adventures alike. Omni-Shade UPF 30 helps protect against harsh rays, while Omni-Shield repels moisture and resists stains to keep things clean and dry. The quick-drying nylon fabric sheds water fast, and the elastic waistband with a removable belt lets us fine-tune the fit. With multiple pockets for essentials and a comfortable 6-inch inseam, these shorts are ready for full days outside."
