"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve worn these on long hikes and straight into town without missing a beat. The high-rise fit is comfortable under a pack belt, and the wide leg openings keep things breathable. Eight pockets sound like a lot, but they’re thoughtfully placed and actually useful. The water-repellent finish has handled light rain surprisingly well."" From dusty trailheads to late-afternoon coffee stops, we pull on the 8 Pocket Short from Hikerkind when the day refuses to be defined by just one plan. Built with the same utilitarian spirit as their bestselling pants, this warm-weather silhouette moves seamlessly between mountain miles and city streets. Crafted from abrasion-resistant nylon with two-way stretch, the fabric balances durability with mobility, while a breathable double-weave interior keeps comfort high during long, sun-soaked days. A PFC-free, plant-based water-repellent finish sheds light moisture when conditions shift. The high-rise, relaxed fit pairs with wide leg openings for freedom of movement, and eight thoughtfully designed pockets—ranging from deep front storage to climbing-style back pockets—keep essentials secure and accessible. Sustainably constructed with OEKO-TEX® certified fabric, these shorts are ready for hikes, road trips, and everything in between."
