Helly Hansen QD Cargo Short - Women's Navy, 28

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore the QD Cargo Short on a trip that went from a long coastal hike straight into an afternoon of paddling, and they handled both without skipping a beat. The ripstop fabric dried out fast after getting wet, and the zippered thigh pocket kept my phone secure through all of it.""Warm weather days rarely stick to one activity, and the QD Cargo Short doesn't ask them to. Built from lightweight recycled ripstop that stretches in two directions and dries out fast, these shorts move just as freely on a trail as they do on the water or anywhere in between. The crotch gusset keeps things comfortable through a full range of motion, so whether the day calls for a long hike, a beach walk, or just a lot of sitting somewhere with a good view, nothing pulls or restricts. The zippered thigh pocket keeps small essentials locked in when the pace picks up, and the UPF 50+ protection means the sun is one less thing to think about on a long day out. Made from recycled polyamide and Bluesign-approved fabric, the QD Cargo Short carries its performance responsibly without sacrificing any of the durability that active days demand."
