Marmot Trailway 5in Short - Women's Dark Steel, 4

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""These shorts hit that sweet spot for hot trail days—super light, stretchy, and tough enough for mixed terrain. The DWR finish buys me time through dew-soaked brush, and the zip thigh pocket keeps my key or card locked in. They dry fast, breathe well, and never feel restrictive.""We count on the Trailway 5in Short when the day calls for steady miles and warm air rising through the trees. Marmot’s soft, abrasion-resistant recycled nylon blend keeps us moving comfortably, offering stretch that adapts to climbs, rock steps, and fast-paced approaches without feeling heavy or stiff. The fabric breathes well as the temperature climbs, and the durable water repellent treatment helps shed light moisture from brush or passing showers. The pockets keep things simple in the best way—drop-in hand pockets for quick access and a zippered thigh pocket that holds small essentials securely when we’re scrambling or moving through uneven ground. Built for active days where comfort, breathability, and durability matter equally, these shorts stay ready from first steps to last views."
