Thanks to Marmot’s signature AirExchange SolarShield fabric—a lightweight, air-permeable weave of recycled polyester—this short delivers outstanding ventilation and quick-drying performance. It helps moisture evaporate fast, promoting natural cooling as you move.

Built for unrestricted movement and all-day trail comfort, this short features a 10 cm inseam and an elastic waistband with an internal drawcord for a secure, customizable fit. One of the angled, mesh-lined hand pockets fits your smartphone and remains easily accessible—even when you're wearing a pack or harness. A zippered pocket on the right hip adds secure storage for smaller essentials. After a day outdoors, hang the shorts to dry using the convenient back loop—ideal after a quick rinse.
