Patagonia Quandary 5in Short - Women's Classic Tan, 12

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve worn these shorts everywhere from hot desert hikes to travel days and casual afternoons around town. The recycled nylon fabric feels light and breathable, dries quickly after water exposure, and has just enough stretch to stay comfortable on long days. I especially like the adjustable drawcord, which keeps the fit dialed even when I’m moving fast or carrying a pack."" We reach for the Quandary 5in Short whenever the forecast calls for sun and movement. Built to roam from trailheads to riversides, this versatile short moves easily through warm-weather adventures, keeping us comfortable when the pace picks up and the temperatures climb. Patagonia designed it to feel light and unrestrictive, making it just as easy to hike, travel, or relax in camp. Patagonia’s recycled NetPlus nylon fabric blends durability with stretch, shedding light moisture and drying quickly after stream crossings or surprise drizzle. A PFC-free DWR finish adds water resistance without added chemicals, while UPF 40+ protection helps shield skin during long days under open skies. The contoured waistband with an internal or external drawcord stays smooth under packs, and multiple pockets keep small essentials secure and within reach."
