Fast-packing the Appalachian Trail requires a big VO2 max and versatile shorts. Patagonia Nine Trails' supple stretch-woven 86% polyester/14% spandex fabric is tough enough to endure the miles and abuse, yet still highly breathable and extremely light. A Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish helps them dry quickly. Cut for ample coverage with an open piqué-knit crotch gusset to vent excess heat and stay dry. One back pocket and one front pocket with curved zippers for easy access and secure storage. Brushed-elastic interior waistband tape. Inseam (size M) is 6".
