Light, stretchy and hardwearing enough for daily use, the Exploration Shorts are pretty much a summer hiking essential. The nylon-elastane fabric mix is durable but forgiving and when combined with a gusseted crotch ensures you enjoy full range of motion even on steep, stepped trails. The water-repellent finish brushes off light summer showers and two hand pockets, a rear pocket and thigh pockets – all zipped – provide plenty of secure storage.
