Shorts created for trails are relatively simple. They have even fewer moving parts than hiking pants, which means that much less can go wrong. Since the main point of wearing shorts is ventilation, you have to look for material that breathes. Nylon Ripstop is the most common and versatile, but some natural fibers can give you a little more comfort or add extra protection. You should choose the ones that suit you well, and have a lot of protective pockets for all your outfit. Therefore, you do not need to think too much, we made the 9 best shorts for men.

Hiking Short Advice on Buying

Materials

Hiking is short, usually from a nylon blend, and, frankly, the materials listed on the sheet of specifications often mean very little. You can only learn so much about how the pants work, knowing that it is made of 97% nylon. As a result, our recommendations are quite significant when it comes to materials. Depending on your priorities, we suggest looking for some elastane (spandex) for the best range of traffic. The added material in the material is a real boon on the trail. Pants that are particularly elastic, like the precisely named prAna Stretch Zion (and the female prAna Halle) are also great for climbing and bouldering.

The common type of tourist short is a light nylon soft shell that combines sufficient protection against windy and humid weather with good overall durability and air permeability. These pants also have an extra "giving away", which we so appreciate. A very light short, like the popular Columbia Silver Ridge, is made of 100% nylon and does not have a lot of stretching, which makes it more suitable for more casual endeavors such as traveling and easier hiking a day. We also have three emissions in this list. Fjallraven Vidda Pro is made of hard material G-1000, which is 35% cotton, these days it is a rarity in the outdoor industry. To increase water resistance, Fjallraven recommends adding an outer shell of beeswax. The second is CREQUE Open Creek, a real short, which is ideal for wet weather and shrubs. The third is Marmot PreCip, a short rain, which is the only waterproof version of this list, but it lacks air permeability for long trips.

Pockets

Pockets are not for everyone - we often prefer not to overload our hiking pants overweight, but the organization can be a plus for some. Pants for walking usually offer several good storage options in the form of a cargo pocket or two. One of the best in our group is Kuhl Renegade Convertible. These pants have creative storage options with large zippers and pockets in the compartment. Different sizes mean that you have to find a place for almost anything you want. But if you are like us, a simpler design, such as one side pocket that you get with PrAna Stretch Zion or Halle, is a lot.

Articulated knees and caps

Two wonderful design features that you need to look for in your short march search are articulated knees and bushings built into the crotch of the trousers. Articulated knees mimic a person's walking movement, creating a natural bend in the knee area of ​​the trousers. Unlike the traditional, leg-legged trousers, the improved range of motion immediately becomes apparent. Carnation is a patch made of rhomboid fabric that runs along the inner thigh of the trousers, replacing the standard seam. As in the case of an articulated knee design, additional fabric improves the range of motion and overall shape and comfort.

We love articulated knees on our hiking pants

Originally popular with climbers who demanded a good fit for performance at peak levels, these traits well penetrated the world of short trips. There are additional costs associated with greater difficulty in creating pants, therefore, perhaps too short daytime tourists on well-groomed routes with more flat classes or with a budget can go without them. But very tangible benefits can be enjoyed by almost everyone, so we strongly recommend that you stretch your budget and choose pants that include both. This simply contributes to a more comfortable toe.

Built-in belts

A set in a fit can often be difficult, so those that fall between sizes (like you do, really) really appreciate a belt with a slight adjustment. Enter the integrated belt. One of our favorites is PrAna Stretch Zion, which has a small profile small regulator made of cloth on the front of the trousers, reminiscent of a shortened belt. The disadvantage of an integrated belt, especially those that wraps around your waist, is an extra volume that can potentially hamper the belt of the backpack belt. The Silver Columbia Range has a full-length waistband, as well as an elastic waist belt that affects us as something more than necessary.
