What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“These shorts are my go-to for long hikes and travel days. They’re super lightweight but built to take a beating thanks to the abrasion-resistant FlashDry-XD fabric. I love the secure zip pockets for my phone and snacks—and the fit is dialed with just enough stretch for all-day wear.”For days when we’re logging miles on rugged trails or weaving through travel connections, the Lightstride 7in Shorts are our first pick. The North Face builds these shorts with abrasion-resistant FlashDry-XD™ fabric and a non-PFC DWR finish, giving us breathable performance and just enough water protection to shrug off light rain or creek splashes.A four-way stretch blend offers full mobility, while the elastic waistband with an internal drawcord ensures a secure fit that moves with us. Thoughtful features like mesh-lined pockets, a zippered thigh pocket, and a gusseted crotch elevate function without adding weight. Whether we’re hiking, road-tripping, or simply running errands in comfort, these shorts always deliver.
