Outdoor Shorts
Made for movement. Every pair of our outdoor shorts is designed to keep you comfortable and free to move wherever your adventure takes you. Hike high ridges, scramble over boulders, ride singletrack, jog through the woods or paddle across the lake – they're shorts for life outside.
Outdoor Shorts
Our design team has spent over 20 years perfecting outdoor fits. We cut our shorts to move with your body, so they never ride up, pinch, or hold you back when you stretch, climb, or run. From relaxed hiking shorts to supportive cycling liners, from quick-drying swim-friendly fabrics to light and tough trail runners – every style is built to perform outdoors.
Comfort and freedom don’t come at the expense of durability. These shorts are tough enough for the mountains and soft enough for long days on the trail. Many feature abrasion-resistant panels, fast-drying fabrics and sun protection for exposed days out. Because we know your shorts have to handle everything – rocks, mud, brambles, and summer showers.
We use environmentally responsible materials wherever we can. Organic and BCI cotton for natural comfort, ECONYL® and post-consumer recycled fibres for technical performance. Fabrics that hold their shape and last season after season, so you can keep exploring without compromise.
Whether you’re heading for a long run, a multiday hike, or a spontaneous dip after a hot climb, our outdoor shorts are made to move with you. Choose the pair that fits your adventure, mix and match with your favourite layers, and enjoy the freedom of lightweight comfort on the go.
