Why I'm Done With Hiking Shorts!!

Check out this overview and review of the Men's Patagonia Strider Pro 5" shorts to find out my thoughts. Could these possibly replace traditional hiking shorts????

Thank you for the vid. I'm looking for running shorts for hiking. Your review assisted me in narrowing down my selection. Happy Hike, Happy Life.

Over the years of being a runner, I've learned to appreciate more and more just how comfortable and versatile running shorts are. That's all I wear to hike in. Running shorts are very lightweight, and very cool . Here in South Texas, it's warm most of the year, so that works out really well for me.

You’re right…these are great shorts. I hate baggy, long shorts when I’m trying to drill down trail miles. I bought mine end of season at 50% off. (Except for emergency needs, youngsters, never, ever, NEVER pay full retail price for outdoors-technical clothing!). Anyway, I’m 66, 6’2”, 185, wear Large. I kept the liner in, for my summer time backpacking. To negate “stink” while section hiking the AT (and I sweat like crazy in hot, humid east coast climate), I carry two pair….wash, rinse, hang on my backpack to dry…..and alternate them day to day. Patagonia got it right with these runners, but you’re correct that $69 is too damned much to pay. Good video, amigo!

Thanks for the video and Im glad you are happy. Me, Ill stick with Walmart or big box store shorts when getting these kind. Thanks!

how was the liner brief? or boxer type? what about for swimming you thing those would be good , easy to dry?

[@n.jamesherr7120]

Very good review. I'm thinking of buying a pair for hiking as well. Someone said they cling really bad when wet. Have you experienced that at all? Thanks

🎯 the brief liner makes a nice on-the-run nose-wipe/sweat cloth once removed

[@hrrrrrrr2084]

Wouldn't it be more comfortable if you didn't wear boxers underneath? They are originally designed to be worn without anything underneath

[@kvnharris2]

Yeah, probably 75% of thru-hikers or so wear running shorts when hiking. I don’t really remember seeing many pairs of “hiking shorts” on the PCT this year as the only other alternative tends to be hiking pants for when mosquitos are bad.

Is the color smolder blue? Is there a change in the color of the fabric when you get sweaty? It's like you peed

Hi, i want to buy these shorts. What's your size? I'm 28 inch waist, 58 kg (127 lbs) and i'm 177 cm (5.8 feet). My legs are very thin, so a lot of shorts seems to be a lot more baggy. Patagonia site tell me that my ideal size is between XS and S (54%/46%), so i'm a little confused. I don't want to wear baggy shorts but i'm aware that XS will be to tight on waist. Any suggestions? Thank you a lot!

Would you say you could put a hand into any of the pockets?

[@douggrabill]

$65 for running shorts is too much....

Tights and basketball shorts
