What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“I reach for the Stryder when I want a short that can take heat, sun, and splash without feeling heavy. The fabric dries fast, the high-rise fit stays comfortable all day, and the built-in belt makes quick adjustments easy when moving between trails, water, or camp.”The Stryder Belted 5in Short brings together durable recycled nylon with warm-weather capability for days that move between trail mileage, water crossings, and relaxed downtime. The file-weave construction delivers a surprisingly soft feel for its toughness, and the PFC-free DWR finish sheds light moisture when plans take us through wet brush or shifting coastal weather. Broad Spectrum sun protection and a UPF 50 rating add reassurance during exposed hours outside. The elastic waist and integrated belt allow quick, secure adjustments, while the extra-wide high-rise waistband creates a supportive, confident fit under a pack or around town. Side-entry hand pockets keep essentials easy to reach without interrupting movement. For versatility in heat, water, and everyday adventure, the Stryder Belted Short becomes a reliable warm-season staple.
