Backcountry Destination Base Short - Men's

Destination Base Shorts offer lightweight comfort and stretch for travel, trails, and everyday adventures

"These shorts feel like they have built-in air conditioning. Once I start to sweat, they cool me down instantly." Gearhead® Expert Jesse

Whether we're topping out boulders, trail running in the foothills, or just enjoying a hike through the woods, the Backcountry Destination Base Short is down for all our favorite summer activities. We crafted this technical short with a lightweight, breathable fabric to wick sweat and keep us cool through warm-weather adventures, and then treated it with PFC-free DWR to shed dust, mud, and drizzles out on the trail.
