Lightweight, stretchy and equipped with practical pockets, the Exploration Shorts are essential for summer hiking. The nylon-elastane fabric blend is durable but pliable, and combined with the gusset in the crotch, ensures that you enjoy full freedom of movement even on steep, stepped trails. The water-repellent finish keeps out light summer showers, and two hand pockets, one back pocket, and two zippered thigh pockets provide plenty of storage.
