Shorts

Sort By:
Our hiking shorts are built for output, featuring quick-dry materials, UV protection, and well-placed pockets for your gear. Experience freedom and flexibility as you take on challenging trails or enjoy leisurely walks.

For fitness enthusiasts, our selection includes perspiration-wicking shorts that keep you cool and dry during intense workouts. The breathable textiles and ergonomic shapes allow for full motion, for hitting the gym or going for a run. Beach-goers will appreciate our selection of Quiksilver shorts, ideal for surfing or relaxing by the shore. These adaptable pieces transition from water to land, supplying both function and practicality.

Our shorts are not just about output – they're a statement of your active lifestyle. With a variety of lengths, colours, and builds, you'll find the right pair for any trip.

Hiking shorts use tear-resistant nylon/polyester with UPF coatings, gusseted crotches for mobility, and secure pockets (e.g., Patagonia Baggies Lights). They dry faster than cotton and resist abrasions, unlike casual shorts that snag on rocks or vegetation. 

Running shorts offer ultralight designs (<150g), moisture-wicking liners, and 4-way stretch for scrambling. Their breathability outperforms traditional shorts in heat, though they lack abrasion protection. 

Pair with knee-high merino socks for tick/scratch defense and apply SPF 50+ to exposed skin. For water crossings, choose quick-dry fabrics (under 2-hour dry time) with DWR treatments. 

Zippered cargo pockets (like Patagonia Everyday Shorts) secure essentials but add weight. For ultralight hikes, prioritise minimalist designs with hidden waistband pouches instead. 

Avoid denim – it retains moisture and lacks stretch. Opt for stretch-woven hybrids if seeking a denim look, as they offer quick-drying performance and UPF protection. 

Convertible designs with minimalist logos, stretch-woven fabrics, and subtle patterns transition seamlessly. Hidden security pockets add urban functionality.
