What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“This short is a clutch choice for long days in the heat. It dries fast, stretches easily, and has pockets exactly where you want them. Durable and breathable—it’s a win for summer work or travel.”Long days under the sun call for gear that works as hard as you do. The Carhartt Relaxed 8in Force Phoenix Short is built with a breathable, quick-drying fabric that flexes with every move and fights sweat to keep you cool and focused. Sun Defender™ UPF 50+ technology adds reliable sun protection, while Carhartt Force® and FastDry® work together to wick moisture and resist odors through long hours outside. Reinforced belt loops and a hidden waistband drawcord keep the fit secure, and a five-pocket layout—plus a dedicated drop-in phone pocket—offers all the storage you need on the go. Whether you're on the job or off the grid, these shorts are designed to keep pace.
