Outdoor Research: Equinox Short

In the summer a good pair of hiking shorts is just as important as reliable backcountry boots and a comfortable, form-fitting backpack. The Outdoor Research Equinox Shorts meet and exceed all criteria with a lightweight and fast-drying Supplex® nylon fabric that's UPF rated to 30+ and functional pockets that won't sag or bag like cargo short designs. Outdoor Research designed their Equinox Shorts with a gusseted crotch for enhanced mobility and an integrated belt for sizing convenience on extended hiking and climbing trips. The front and back pockets have mesh linings to facilitate draining after river crossings and boat landings. The 10-inch inseam gives the Equinox Shorts a walking short look that's also perfect for traveling through more civilized surroundings.
