Mesa Hiking Short, 7" Inseam — Men's

CRN-PNT-010 · In stock $69
Sizes SMLXLXXL

Imagine a scorching August day, miles into a desert thru-hike, or a long paddle across a sun-drenched lake where every ounce and every layer matters. The Mesa Hiking Short excels in these conditions, purpose-built for comfort when the mercury climbs. Crafted from a lightweight 130gsm stretch recycled nylon ripstop, it moves fluidly with you, resisting snags and drying exceptionally fast after a quick dip or an unexpected downpour thanks to its durable DWR finish. We've integrated a gusseted crotch for unrestricted movement on steep climbs or while portaging, and the elastic waistband with an integrated belt keeps them securely in place without added bulk. Two mesh-lined hand pockets and a single zippered thigh pocket provide three secure spots for essentials. Weighing in at a mere 210 grams, these 7-inch inseam shorts are the definition of practical versatility for any warm-weather adventure, from the trail to the water.
