Trail-ready shorts built to go the distance
"The belt sits in the perfect place and doesn't get in the way of my harness or backpack. When I want to wear it higher, I can cinch it in for a tighter fit."Gearhead® Expert Jo
We designed the Wasatch Ripstop Short for venturing along lightly trafficked singletrack that leads to hard-earned views. The built-in stretch gives us room to straddle over fallen trees, and the lightweight fabric brushes off overreaching brush and quickly dries away summit drizzles.

Want more colors!
Just wore these for four days straight on a backpacking trip, lots of rock and tree scrambles and butt slides - the shorts took no damage. I came back to order these in the rose color and it's gone now :( Definitely going to be my go-to hiking shorts for the rest of the summer and I want more colors to switch it up!

Great Shorts
These are some of the best, most comfortable shorts. I have them in 3 different colors. The length is perfect and the adjustable belt is really nice to ensure you have the perfect fit. They are true to size. I have worn them hiking and in casual settings and they work great for both.

Cute but quality is disappointing

The hemming on these shorts it pretty disappointing. Lots of loose threads that snag. The overall look is cute, but don’t seem like they will last long. Also many comments said size down, but if you have a butt, I wouldn’t recommend. I wore my normal size.

I am a professional field biologist, and I do the same things for fun that I do for work. At 40 years old, I have been wearing field clothes hard for over 20 years. Have worked in shorts from Columbia, Patagonia, etc. all the brands at this point. Most get the job done, but are never flattering. THESE shorts are functional and flattering. Love that they are longer in the back for some cellulite coverage. Finally! I feel pretty in my field clothes.

My new favorite short for the season. The fit is very flattering and hides my lower bloat. The pockets are super deep & it has good coverage in the back as well, I ordered a small.

I love the fit of these shorts. They are true to size, and the integrated belt is sweet for minor adjustments. Quick to dry, durable material and zippered pockets!

I haven't put these shorts to use yet, but for folks looking for size info, this is a little big for me: measuring right now, my waist is 24.5" and full hip 35", and the xs is roomy in both waist and hip. Luckily, the waist is adjustable without a belt! Without adjustment, these sit on my hip bones, but the fit doesn't look super scrunchy-weird when I tighten up. I was concerned the hips would be tight, but no worries there. I ordered a small as well, and it's definitely too big. I'm 5'2" and these 3.5" inseam shorts are pretty modest. The starfish color is possibly the only shade of yellow I would like on my pale pink skin tone. I also liked the deco rose color and wish that was available in xs! The material feels nice against my skin for the quick-dry ripstop fabric it is, it is not stretchy, and construction seems durable. The plastic clasp on the internal belt is a potential point of failure that would require some finagling to replace since it's an odd closure and the shorts have no belt loops. Overall I think they're cuter on the model than on me, but I really like them already and can't wait to get them dirty!

Can’t recommend these enough! I’m 5’9”, 165 lbs, and the medium fits great! Super comfy and stretchy. Considering buying more than one pair simply because I haven’t found a pair of shorts this great in a long time. The fit is flawless!
