Description

Mountain Hardwear Shade Lite Short – $33.99, On Sale

The Mountain Hardwear Shade Lite Short is a women's do-it-all outdoor short in light, stretchy, quick-drying fabric with an elastic drawcord waist — built for hiking, swimming-hole days, and FKT attempts. Buyer fit answers first: the inseam runs short-to-mid length (approximately 4 inches depending on size), and most buyers find the fit true to size with the drawcord letting you dial in the waist; if between sizes, size up for a looser trail fit.

Do everything short

Hiked 12 miles in humid East Coast heat and these never chafed or got soggy. The stretch fabric moves well uphill and the drawcord waist means no adjusting. The mesh pocket fits my phone securely.

Light and comfy

Great for hot weather hiking. Wish they had zip pockets but otherwise perfect.

Finally shorts that fit right

I'm 48 and have struggled with hiking shorts that ride up or gap at the waist. These have a great cut and the elastic drawcord lets me dial in the fit. They dried in under an hour after a surprise river crossing.

Good but short inseam

Nice lightweight fabric and comfortable waistband, but the inseam is shorter than I expected from the photos. Fine if you like shorter shorts.

Solid trail shorts

Very happy with these on desert hikes in Utah. The fabric blocks a reasonable amount of sun and dries almost instantly after sweat. No chafing even on long days, which is rare for me.
