Skyline Trail Shorts

The Skyline Trail Shorts are engineered with a perfect balance of protection, versatility, and mobility. These shorts are designed for extended trips in the backcountry and all your outdoor adventures. 

  • Designed For The Trail: Unlike traditional running shorts or gym shorts, the Skyline Trail Shorts are specifically crafted for backpackers and trail runners. Offering durability without the weight and functionality without sacrificing mobility, they're perfect for covering miles in comfort.
  • Protective & Mobile: The 8-inch inseam provides protection from the sun and trail hazards, while still allowing for ample mobility above the knee.
  • Ultralight and Breathable: Weighing just ounces, these shorts are impressively comfortable and breathable. 
  • Enhanced Ventilation: With targeted diamond pattern mesh placement, the Skyline Trail Shorts offer excellent ventilation in the crotch and hips. The carefully honed fit allows for airflow without feeling overly roomy, ensuring comfort even during the most intense activities.
  • Quick-Drying and Odor-Resistant: Thanks to their quick-drying ability and moisture-wicking fabrics, these shorts prevent odor buildup, allowing you to stay fresh and comfortable even after long days on the trail. This will also help you avoid chafing.

Whether you're hiking, running, swimming, working out, or simply relaxing, these shorts are built to perform during your active lifestyle. Add them to your gear arsenal and conquer your adventures with confidence.

Great all-around shorts

These shorts could easily replace every pair of shorts in my wardrobe for summer, outdoor, physical, lounging, any purpose I could imagine. I’m 5’11” 200 lbs and the L fits me perfectly. They’re light, breezy, handle moisture well, everything I could hope for. Broke them in on a 10 mile hike on a 100F day on the Wasatch Front, and they exceeded expectations.
