What are the High Coast Hike Shorts?
They're the perfect shorts for hiking, trekking, hill walking and travelling in warm climates. Lightweight, stretchy and fast-drying, they feature plenty of practical storage options for trail essentials to keep you well-organised on the go.
What are they made from?
These comfortable shorts are constructed from a lightweight ripstop stretch fabric that comprises recycled polyamide and elastane. Though recycled, this material makes no compromises! It's extremely durable yet feels smooth against the skin and has lesser bulk than standard materials, making it ideal for longer days on the hill.
The polyamide yarns help transport away moisture, allowing the fabric to dry quickly - handy if you get caught in an unexpected rain shower or when things get a little splashy when canoeing down the river with friends. The elastane gives the fabric a slight stretch, improving the short's comfort levels and freedom of movement, making them ideal for various outdoor activities.
What are their features?
The High Coast Hike Shorts feature a comfortable elasticated waist with a lightweight webbing belt that won't get in your way when taking high steps or scrambling. Obviously, it allows you to adjust the fit around the waist for a secure and comfortable fit when wearing a rucksack hip belt or climbing harness - it also saves you spending extra pennies on a separate belt!
For storage, there are two hand pockets that are ideal for keeping trail snacks and energy gels close to hand, whilst two zippered pockets offer secure storage for chunky and more valuable items such as GPS devices, a wallet or a mobile phone that might restrict movement if placed in the higher pockets.
