Wind River
$69.99
Wind River are swim-hike hybrid shorts; lightweight and quick-drying for multi-activity days.
They're perfect for spontaneous mid-hike swims, deep water soloing or working hard on hot summer days.
The drawcord waist adjustment keeps the shorts in place while swimming, with mesh-lined pockets that drain fast and won't inflate underwater.
Made for movement in and out of the water, with a hanging loop for drying them out after a rinse on multi-day trips.
The shorts have a zipped fly and a secure zipped rear pocket for valuables.
Amphibious, adventure-ready comfort.
