Swift Lite Hybrid 3.5in Short - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wear the Swift Lite Hybrid Short on hot trail runs and ridge hikes—they’re breathable, flexible, and the Ferrosi back adds durability where I need it. The security zip pocket on the back is perfect for stashing a key or card without bounce."

When we’re moving fast and traveling light, we need gear that won’t hold us back. The Outdoor Research Swift Lite Hybrid 3.5in Short is made for high-output adventures, blending ultralight Swift fabric in the front with durable Ferrosi fabric in the back for stretch, breathability, and abrasion resistance where it counts.

Built with a wicking liner and movement-mirroring stretch, this short keeps us cool and comfortable whether we’re on the trail, scrambling through rock, or chasing miles before sunset. The soft waistband and split hem allow for full mobility, while secure pockets—including a rear zip—keep small essentials close and bounce-free. It’s our go-to for fast missions in mixed terrain.
