What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've worn the Timberline Short on hot, dusty hikes and they're super breathable without sacrificing durability. The stretch is spot-on for scrambling and sitting around camp, and the pocket setup is legit-especially the hidden back zip."Hot days on the trail call for lightweight gear that still holds up to rugged terrain. The Outdoor Research Timberline Short is built to handle tough miles in comfort, with abrasion-resistant, bluesign(R)-approved fabric that breathes well, stretches with every step, and dries quickly when the heat is on. A shaped waistband with internal elastic adds long-wear comfort, while multiple secure pockets-including drop-in hand pockets and a hidden back zip-keep your trail essentials organized and close. The DWR finish and UPF 50+ rating make this short a go-to for everything from summer hikes and river crossings to daily wear and travel.
