HIKEOUT SHORTS M

The fabric is remarkably lightweight and really does move with you — I barely noticed I was wearing them on a steep climb. The wind protection was a nice bonus on the exposed ridge, and they stayed breathable even when I was sweating.

I was a bit skeptical about the stretch fabric holding up on rocky terrain, but after three long hikes these shorts still look new and the wind protection is a game-changer on exposed ridges.

Wore these on a windy ridge and the wind protection was noticeable, but they still breathed well enough to not trap heat. Lightweight fabric made scrambling over rocks feel effortless.
