Durable ripstop shorts built for rugged trails and everyday wear

"The roomy fit is perfect for climbing or hiking steep trails. I appreciate that the belt stays out of the way of my pack." Gearhead® Expert Sammy


We built the Backcountry Wasatch Ripstop 5in Short for exploring our backyard mountain range. The stretch performance blend moves with us over fallen trees and up rock scrambles and holds strong against overreaching branches and tight squeezes.

My favorite shorts

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:
M
Weight:

I wear these almost every day in the summer, and have had them stand up even to direct hook and drag of my cat's claws. I tend closer to the Large side of Medium/Large measurements but fluctuate inconsistently, so these in the Medium are perfect for accommodating my body on both Medium and Large days. Really hoping they restock the Medium at some point so I can pick up another pair!

Cutest shorts that don’t ride up

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Size Bought:
Medium

The best hiking shorts! The shape of the leg makes these a good looking pair of shorts. I just got done with a 15 mile hike in these and they didn’t ride up. It also rained on us at one point and they dried quickly. I love that they are slightly longer on the inner thigh and I think that helped them stay in place. I agree that these ran slightly big. I’m usually a large and a medium fit me the best. I’m 5’5 and 150lbs for reference. Please bring these back in the pink color!!

Cute cute cute

These are absolutely adorable and functional. I listened to comments on size and I found them to be true to size rather than too large. I’m about 140, 5’6 and M is perfect.

My go to summer shorts

I am 5'7" on the curvier side. I dress the black color up or down, and I've collected them in every color. They never chafe and they've held up to a lot of abuse and travelling. These are the first outdoor shorts I have purchased that I am completely satisfied on the fit with as a curvy girl.

They don't ride up on long trails and they're super comfy. Love the ability to cinch the waist and all the pockets! Highly recommend.

Great functional design. Love them!

I just received the large and they are comfortable and a little loose. I ordered medium as well and will keep both as I tend to go down a size during summer. I love that there isn't elastic in the waist, the pockets zip shut, my phone fits, pockets lay flat, and are diagonal. I noticed a review about the zipper teeth not going all the way up. The pair I received have teeth all the way up and a fabric guard at the top, maybe a redesign to prevent the issue. The inside of the pockets are the same fabric so no problem seeing undergarments if they are left open, like other brands with mesh. The integrated belt is movable. I was concerned that it was in a fixed position. Fast buckling/unbuckling and the buckle is low profile/not bulky. Snaps don't pop open. I love that the back of the legs are a little longer than the front and the hem has a design component!

I absolutely love the feel and look about these pants. every time I wear them I get compliments and asked where they are from. I love how they dry so quick too and seem to be good quality. I wish there were more colors to choose from since I got the only 2 that I really liked. I also got a pair of the 3.5 inch shorts and those are also amazing. Not too short. They do run a little big so size down.
