Shorts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are an awesome value with a great balance of low weight and durability. These classic shorts are some of our favorites for day hiking since they have a nice town-to-trail look. And the breathable, stretchy fabric is also great for long-term comfort and mobility on backpacking trips. The Quandarys have a plethora of pockets, but they all sit flat and make these shorts feel very sleek for the amount of storage they offer. If we could add anything about them, they would include a built-in belt, but this isn<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t a dealbreaker for us: these shorts fit well and have a nice, stretchy waistband to accommodate different body shapes. For those wanting a versatile pair of shorts that easily transition from urban to alpine, the Quandarys are hard to beat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These shorts look so good that we opt to wear them around town as well, considering they are so comfortable. The drawstring waistband makes it possible to wear them sans belt. One nice feature that these shorts have is a small additional zippered pocket on the right side of the leg. It is not the biggest pocket, so it can<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t hold too much, but it does provide extra storage.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are not the lightest hiking shorts on the list, but they are light enough that you won<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t notice the weight. They roll up nicely and the stretch-woven 96% NetPlus post-consumer recycled nylon \/ 4% spandex stretches with the body nicely. These shorts may not dry as quickly as some other options on this list, but they will still dry in a matter of minutes, not hours, in a warm environment. These shorts are one of our absolute favorites and perform consistently across the board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/hiking\/patagonia-quandary-mens-shorts-review\">Patagonia Quandary Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__badge\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EditorsPick-MensShorts.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"The CleverHiker Editor&#039;s Pick Badge Logo with a men&#039;s shorts picture in the middle\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

If you&#8217;re counting ounces and prioritizing airflow over features, the Strider Pro delivers. These are some of the lightest and most packable shorts in our lineup, drying faster than almost any other option we tested. While the features are minimal and durability takes a backseat to weight savings, they shine in high-output, warm-weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Patagonia Strider Pro is a top-tier choice for comfort during high-exertion activity. The soft, supportive waistband and smooth brief liner kept us chafe-free for long days on rugged terrain. Available in 5-inch and 7-inch inseams, they offer a fit for different preferences. Even after long hours under a pack, these shorts remained comfortable and breathable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of durability, the Strider Pro prioritizes weight savings over long-term toughness. We noticed pilling and signs of wear in high-friction zones after extended use with a backpack hip belt. Through our testing in Alaska and Montana, we found that these shorts are better suited to lightweight missions rather than bushwhacking. The Patagonia Strider Pro dries exceptionally fast and is the lightest short we tested. It wicks moisture quickly and goes from soaked to dry in minutes with sun and breeze. At only 3.8 ounces, it practically vanishes in your pack or on your body. We love these shorts for fast and light missions, and they are perfect for thru-hikers or the dedicated ounce counter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>More:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Patagonia

Shorts<\/a> have high-performance fabric that you can feel as soon as you put them on. These hiking shorts are available in 7&#8243; and 9&#8243; inseams and have a signature FreeRyde waistband with a soft micro-chamois to help with comfort and odor. The crotch is gusseted making it easier to hike in and stronger than ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We especially like the stealth phone pocket on the side of the right leg. A normal-sized smartphone will easily slip in and stay secure. It is easy to access while hiking with a pack on for photos or navigation purposes. These shorts received top marks not only for durability but also for comfort and how quickly they dry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are a few ounces heavier than some shorts on the list, however, they are still light enough, and the extra ounces amount to more protection and durability for longer miles on the trail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <\/strong><a

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stretch Zion II<\/a> shorts certainly live up to that reputation. The fabric is stretchy, easy to move in, and thick yet breathable for durability and comfort. The Zions are a bit on the heavy and bulky side, so we like the trimmed down design of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/prAna-Brion-Shorts-II-Mud\/dp\/B09RK84ZM9?tag=cleve05e-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prAna Brions<\/a>\u00a0for most casual outings. But those going for utility will like that the Zions offer a ton of secure storage without feeling or looking frumpy like some other cargo shorts, and they come in a ton of stylish color ways for every style.

The lightweight material kept us moving with ease in all conditions, and dried quickly when rain hit. These do tend to fit a little big, so consider sizing down when buying a pair. However, the built-in drawstring ensures these stay in place even if you don<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t have a hiking belt on hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The small zippered pocket on the right thigh is nice for storing food or small maps, even a phone can fit in it. The soft lined inside of the waist belt is another great little feature. It prevents the shorts from rubbing while wearing a pack with a hipbelt, and can also absorb excess moisture or sweat. These shorts did great when it came to dry time. The breathable recycled nylon material is ideal for staying cool and dry.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When back at home, these shorts look so good you can wear them to coffee or even the office on a casual Friday. Whether you<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">re going for a quick jaunt in a city park or setting off for a thru-hike, the breathable and

Trails<\/a> are a close second to our go-to athletic shorts, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Challenger-Shorts-Heather-Reflective-Silver\/dp\/B07FKDHJZ5?tag=cleve05e-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Nike Dri-FIT Challengers<\/a> above. We ranked the Nikes higher for their friendlier price point, more functional brief liner, and wider range of size offerings, but the Multi Trails win out is for their more flattering fit and the inclusion of zippers on the hand pockets. The Multi Trails are less billowy, but still plenty breathable and airy for toasty days on trail. We found the lightweight material of the Multi Trails is a little thin, so they&#8217;re not as durable as other options on this list &#8211; which means they may not be the best choice for trails that include a lot of butt-scooting down rock. But we think the tradeoff in durability is worth it for the soft, comfy fabric and outstanding fit that comes in almost every color you could want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/apparel\/patagonia-multi-trails-mens-shorts-review\/\">Patagonia Multi Trails Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

We found the flat waistband of the Wanders to be one of the most comfy under a hipbelt, and the simple pocket setup (just two hand pockets) keep the legs bulk-free as well. While the drop pockets are fine for holding a small item or two, we appreciate the stealthy zippered pocket for better security. We just wish the Wanders were made with a softer fabric, because the stiff polyester has a tendency to bunch up a bit and can feel uncomfortable on really long adventures in hot weather. That said, we still find these shorts to be exceptionally comfortable, and we even lounge around in them at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/apparel\/the-north-face-wander-2-0-mens-shorts-review\/\">The North Face Wander 2.0 Shorts Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

We tried out putting lunch in one pocket and a phone in the other while hiking. The pockets are large enough to fit an entire sandwich. The pockets made it possible to access food and gear without having to\u00a0 rummage through a pack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will want to wear your own belt with these shorts as they do not include a drawstring or integrated option.

for their town-to-trail style. When it comes to a pair that transitions easily from day hikes and rock climbing to a brewery with friends, this pair can handle it all. With a simplified pocket setup and a flattering fit, the Brions are a trimmed-down version of more utilitarian options that come with additional thigh pockets and a belt. Though their lack of water resistance and limited feature set makes them suboptimal for long backpacking trips, we highly recommend these for day hikes and frontcountry camping.

Though, in our opinion, they lean more towards casual wear than performance. With a relaxed fit, stylish color options, and thoughtful features like deep pockets and an integrated belt, the Amphib shines as a go-to for low-key outdoor adventures. It\u2019s not the lightest or most high-performance option in our lineup, but its do-it-all design makes it a standout for anyone looking for one pair of shorts that can cover a lot of ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance-wise, the Amphib excels in durability but comes up short in comfort on long treks. The nylon\/polyester blend shrugs off scrapes and brush without issue, but it\u2019s stiff and not especially breathable. We experienced chafing on longer hikes, and the slightly boxy fit was slightly uncomfortable over long periods. The integrated belt helps adjust the fit &#8211; though, it tends to loosen with time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Amphib&#8217;s features are well-considered, if not perfect. The faux fly keeps things simple, and the zippered pocket adds some security. Deep front pockets easily fit a phone, and the integrated belt is a useful touch for dialing in the fit &#8211; though, we found it can twist and bunch in the waistband.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry time and packability are great for more casual trips. While testing on packrafting trips, the Amphib took a little while longer to dry after full immersion, lagging behind faster-drying options. At six ounces, it\u2019s middle of the road in weight and packs down reasonably well for casual use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The REI Trailmade Amphib is best for casual adventurers who want one pair of shorts to wear from the trail to the water. It\u2019s a budget-friendly, tough, and stylish choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>More:<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/hiking\/rei-trailmade-amphib-mens-shorts-review\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> REI Trailmade Amphib Full Review<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__badge\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BudgetBuy-MensShorts.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"The CleverHiker Budget Buy Badge Logo with a men&#039;s shorts picture in the middle\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

They\u2019re good-looking for athletic shorts and comfier than dedicated hiking shorts (like the prAna Stretch Zions), so they\u2019re a good in-between when the occasion calls for a balance of performance and style. The draw-string cord is simple, the pockets are functional, and they come in a ton of colorways to match the occasion. Having said that, we&#8217;ve found the boxer briefs of the Kore shorts tend to ride up over time. However, the Kores are some of our favorites for shorter hikes and urban walks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More:<\/strong> <a

The Brincos are made with nylon material that dries quickly for fun in the water and holds up to hard use for fun on the trail.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve tested several pairs of shorts that fall into this swim shorts hybrid category. The Brincos are our favorite because the material is a bit softer and less prone to causing chafing than others. That said, these aren\u2019t as soft as the material used in athletic shorts, so we wouldn\u2019t recommend them for multi-day treks in hot weather.<\/p>\n<p>It can sometimes feel like the options for men\u2019s hiking shorts are an endless sea of browns, beiges, and army green. But the vibrant Brincos offer a fresh change of pace and are sure to be a clothing item that you reach for often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More:\u00a0<\/strong><a

We also check to ensure there is room in the crotch and seat for stretching and stepping up on rocks or roots. We examine how the fabric, pockets, and seams feel on the legs and determine if they stay put or ride up when hiking or sitting down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-durability\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>DURABILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For durability, we put these shorts through the wringer on trail. We assessed the performance of their material and seams as we scrambled, squatted, and stretched over the course of our testing period. We also looked at characteristics like the thickness of the fabric and quality of hardware like buttons and zippers. In addition to on-trail testing, we also washed the shorts to see how well they hold up to a spin cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-features\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>FEATURES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we tested and considered some of the special features that make each short unique. This includes the number of pockets, the size of the pockets, where they are located, and their shape\/dimensions. We also look at drawstrings, integrated belts, fastener style loops, liners, and specialty fabrics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-dry-time\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>DRY TIME<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a pair of shorts that can dry quickly is valuable on the trails where rain, streams, and lakes can drench material in a moment. We not only tested each pair on trail, but hopped in the pool with each pair of shorts and then walked around until they were dry. We also hosed down the shorts and laid them all out in the sun side-by-side to see which ones dried the fastest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-weight-amp-packability\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>WEIGHT &amp; PACKABILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While weight is a straightforward metric, we also looked at how well these shorts pack into a backpack. We weighed and compressed each model to see which ones were the smallest. We also packed them into a backpack to see how easy they are to carry on trail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9304.jpg\" alt=\"A man walks along a ridgeline above an alpine lake.\" class=\"wp-image-52454\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9304.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9304-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9304-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9304-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9304-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Patagonia Strider Pro is the lightest pair of shorts in or lineup. &#8211; Photo Credit: Miles Knotek (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"trust\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-32-px-font-size\" id=\"h-why-trust-cleverhiker\">Why Trust CleverHiker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve collectively hiked and backpacked over 25,000 miles and 3,000 days in hiking shorts to identify the best of the best.

The prAna Strech Zion II also has a nice price for all the performance it provides. Finally, the Kuhl Renegade Rock Shorts cost less than expected, given its scores. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;696daad4883b8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"696daad4883b8\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Value-Price-vs.-Overall-Score-23.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54397\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-comfort-0\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>COMFORT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to comfort, all of the hiking shorts on this list are great to hike in,&nbsp;however, there are some that stand out. One of our top choices for comfort is the&nbsp;<strong>Patagonia Quandary Shorts<\/strong>, providing next-level ease and movement from trail to town. This pair moves seamlessly with you as you hike, and the waist is nice and perfectly fits with the drawstring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its elastic waistband and supportive brief liner, the <strong>Patagonia Strider Pro<\/strong> shorts are among the most comfortable in our lineup. The elastic waistband doubles as a sweatband for your waist, keeping you dry and wicking away moisture. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Comfort-Rating-21.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54480\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-durability-0\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>DURABILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to going the distance, at the top of our list for durability is the <strong>Kuhl Renegade Rock Shorts<\/strong>. True to the name, these are solidly built. The thick material and exceptional quality mean that they will stand up to rough rock and dirt better than others on the list. You can tell by the almost canvas-like feel they have that these shorts mean business.&nbsp;Close behind is the <strong>prAna Stretch Zion II<\/strong>. This pair has reinforced stitching and similarly thick material and hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next tier, the <strong>Patagonia Quandary Shorts<\/strong> are made from recycled fishing nets. This model provides more strength and protection against sharp branches and scooting across sharp rocks. The material will ensure you can focus on hiking, not repairing frayed shorts. The <strong>REI Sahara Cargo Shorts<\/strong> make the top of our durability list for cargo shorts. They are a bit heavier, but that bulk means the bluesign-approved, mainly recycled nylon with a bit of spandex will hold their own in tough terrain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Durability-Rating-21.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54481\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-features-0\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>FEATURES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Features on hiking shorts can range from pockets and drawstrings to lightweight integrated belts, fastener-style loops, liners, and even special materials used. Having a pocket that fits a smartphone perfectly, such as the <strong>Kuhl Renegade Rock Shorts<\/strong> do, makes life on the trail so much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other shorts from the list that have special features include the <strong>Outdoor Research Ferrosi<\/strong> and <strong>Patagonia Quandary Shorts<\/strong> for their waist drawstrings, extra pockets, and soft waist liner. The <strong>REI Sahara Cargo Shorts<\/strong> and <strong>Columbia Silver Ridge Cargo<\/strong> also get points for the additional pockets, and a nice built-in belt for the Silver Ridge shorts. All of the shorts proved easy to wash, we just recommend air drying them so they do not shrink. Often, little features such as this can make or break a good pair of hiking shorts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Features-Rating-4.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54482\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-dry-time-0\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>DRY TIME<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a pair of hiking shorts that will dry quickly is valuable. Whether you get caught in a flash rain storm on the trail or want to jump in a lake to cool off while hiking, high-tech fabrics mean your shorts can dry in a matter of minutes not hours. The <strong>Nike Dri-Fit Challenger<\/strong> takes the top honors in this category. As the name suggests, these shorts dried in the sun within a few minutes of getting wet. The swimsuit-like running shorts work well for wet hikes too. The <strong>REI Trailmade Amphib<\/strong> and the <strong>Outdoor Research Ferrosi<\/strong> are also two hiking shorts that dry quickly thanks to the lightweight quick-dry material they are made out of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Dry-Time-Rating.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54393\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-weight-amp-packability-0\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>WEIGHT &amp; PACKABILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This category comes down to a few ounces (or few tenths of an ounce) so for most folks, there won\u2019t be an important difference from one pair to the next. However, on a long-distance hike, those ounces add up. At 3.8 ounces, the <strong>Patagonia Strider Pro shorts<\/strong> are the lightest in our lineup. They are easy to forget whether on your body or in your pack. When not in use, they pack down roughly to the size of a closed fist for easy storage in a pack or stuff sack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The North Face Wander<\/strong> also weighs less than five ounces.&nbsp;These minimalist, lightweight shorts are ideal for long-distance hikers who are looking for small packable material that dries quickly.

For colder months, diehard shorts fans can use their favorite shorts with a quality set of base layer bottoms to their<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/hiking\/backpacking-amp-hiking-clothing-101-tips-for-creating-the-perfect-ultralight-clothing-system\/\"> layering system<\/a> to stay toasty. That said, shorts will make your skin more vulnerable to hazards like scrapes, sunburn, brambles, and mosquitoes. Most shorts don\u2019t have as many pockets for storing things. either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiking pants offer the best protection from the elements, bugs, and spiky, stinging plants. If you\u2019re hiking in an area with thick brush or where the threat of pests such as ticks is increased, pants are probably the better choice. Of course there are some downsides &#8211; it\u2019s harder to regulate your body temperature in pants, they\u2019re heavier, and they can limit your movement a bit more than shorts. Convertible and roll-up pants give you more control over temperature, although we tend to prefer roll-ups for their more flattering fit.

We prefer shorts made with stretchy fabrics to allow for easy movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nylon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon is an exceptionally durable synthetic fabric that dries quickly. It tends to feel slightly softer on the skin than other synthetic fabrics. Because of the way nylon is made, it tends to be a bit pricier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Polyester<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyester is very durable (although slightly less so than nylon) and naturally hydrophobic. It absorbs less water than nylon and wicks moisture more effectively. It\u2019s also less prone to pilling, so it will stay looking nice for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cotton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cotton is soft and comfortable, but it absorbs water. It dries very slowly, sticks to the skin and causes chafing when wet, and can be potentially dangerous in cold\/wet climates. Because of these downsides, cotton is generally not recommended for outdoor activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spandex\/elastane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We prefer hiking shorts with some spandex\/elastane content for mobility. Most shorts we tested have two-way stretch, which means they stretch in one direction (typically crosswise). Some have four-way stretch, which means the fabric stretches crosswise and lengthwise.

That&#8217;s why we prefer shorts with minimal pockets, because they look more sleek and feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Back pockets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We almost never use back pockets on trail because they\u2019re hard to access with a backpack on, and things stored there get in the way when we want to sit down. WE prefer using hip-belt pockets on our backpacks or a small front pocket instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Front pockets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Front pockets can be useful around town, but we use them less often on trail because they\u2019re hard to access with a hip belt on. Items stored in front pockets can also be uncomfortable when you have to lift your legs high for scrambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leg pockets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our opinion, zippered pockets on the thigh tend to be the most useful, but we\u2019ll keep small items like chapstick, a lighter, or a small<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/more-gear\/best-multitools\/\"> multitool<\/a> in there for quick access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Copy-of-DSC01984.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12521\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Copy-of-DSC01984.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Copy-of-DSC01984-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Copy-of-DSC01984-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Copy-of-DSC01984-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nike Dri-FIT Challengers<em> <\/em>&#8211; Photo credit: Dave Collins (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" id=\"h-pretreated-fabric-care\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>PRETREATED FABRIC CARE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some technical clothing comes pretreated with water or bug repellent. These pretreatments aren\u2019t permanent, will need regular reapplication, and they drive up the cost of the garment. You can easily maintain a treatment or add one to your shorts with these products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Water repellency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To maintain or add water resistance to hiking shorts we recommend using<a rel=\" nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nikwax-Softshell-Proof-Waterproofing\/dp\/B0019GN3BM?tag=cleve05e-20\"> Nikwax Softshell Proof<\/a>. This treatment will maintain breathability while effectively causing water to bead and roll off the fabric. Keep in mind that this won\u2019t make your shorts completely waterproof, since moisture can still get through the seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bug-proofing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To maintain or add bug repellant to your clothing we recommend<a rel=\" nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sawyer-Products-SP657-Permethrin-Repellent\/dp\/B001ANQVYU?tag=cleve05e-20\"> Sawyer Permethrin Pump Spray<\/a>. It repels and kills ticks, mosquitoes, mites, and chiggers. It lasts about six weeks or six washes before you need to reapply it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Repairing tears\/holes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To patch holes and tears, we recommend using the<a rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener  nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rei.pxf.io\/c\/2536211\/1448521\/17195?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rei.com%2Fproduct%2F143876%2Fnoso-patchdazzle-gear-repair-kit\"> Noso Patchdazzle Gear Repair Kit<\/a>.

Always follow the washing directions on the tags carefully, but we outline some general tips below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use a front loading washer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agitator in a top loading washer can be rough on seams and thin fabrics, and can snag zippers or drawstrings. Make sure you zip all the zippers and tie the drawstrings before washing in a front loader to prevent wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use a laundry bag<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re worried about how your garments will hold up in the wash &#8211; especially if your only option is a top-loading washer &#8211; consider picking up an inexpensive mesh laundry sack to better protect the fabric, drawstrings, and seams of your clothes as they&#8217;re washed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use a technical fabric wash<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend<a rel=\" nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rei.pxf.io\/c\/2536211\/1448521\/17195?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rei.com%2Fproduct%2F724687%2Fnikwax-tech-wash-10-fl-oz\"> Nikwax Tech Wash<\/a> for washing any technical fabrics. You can also use a gentle detergent, like<a rel=\" nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Woolite-Delicates-Hypoallergenic-Laundry-Detergent\/dp\/B0722W5V6F?tag=cleve05e-20\"> Woolite<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Only wash when you need to<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of technical fabrics are designed to be antimicrobial and shouldn\u2019t hold odors. Hiking clothing doesn\u2019t necessarily need to be washed after every single adventure, especially if it&#8217;s a shorter hike or a day trip. Consider airing your clothing out first to see if that does the trick before washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t use fabric softener or dryer sheets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fabric softener and dryer sheets can deposit residue on the fabric and affect the overall performance. Both products can be harsh on technical fabrics, so wash your hiking gear separately and without these additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hang dry when possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat and agitation in the dryer can damage technical fabrics, especially over time. We recommend hanging your garments to dry for longevity and durability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Copy-of-AZT-73-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"A backpacker wearing REIs Trailmade Amphib shorts hiking on a trail in the desert thats lined with dry grass and cacti - there are cactus covered mountains in the distance\" style=\"width:800px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">REI Trailmade Amphib &#8211; Photo credit: Casey Handley (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-32-px-font-size\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Selecting the right pair of hiking shorts means finding the right balance of the comfort, durability, features, dry time, and weight\/packability.
