Backcountry BGA Tahoe Boardwalk Short - Women's

Retro-inspired and adventure-ready, the Tahoe Boardwalk Short blends stretch, style, and water resistance

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Tahoe Boardwalk Short is my go-to for days that blend outdoor adventures with laid-back style. The four-way stretch fabric is incredibly comfortable and moves with me whether I’m hiking, paddling, or just kicking back. The water-resistant finish helps keep things dry, and the soft waistband with a drawcord ensures a secure fit. I also love the hidden zippered pocket for keeping essentials safe when I’m on the move."

From morning hikes to afternoons by the water, the Tahoe Boardwalk Short is built for whatever the day brings. Designed with a four-way stretch double-weave fabric, these shorts move effortlessly while maintaining durability for active pursuits. The water-resistant finish repels moisture, dust, and dirt, keeping us comfortable whether we’re exploring the backcountry or strolling through town.

The soft knit waistband and integrated drawcord offer a secure, stay-put fit, while strategically placed pockets—including a hidden zippered hand pocket and a vented rear pocket—keep essentials close at hand. With UPF 50+ sun protection and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, the Tahoe Boardwalk Short is made for adventure without compromise.
