Quandary 8in Shorts deliver sustainable comfort and versatile style for hiking and everyday adventure
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"Quandary Shorts are my pick for summer hikes—they’re stretchy, shed moisture fast, and the pockets are practical for stashing trail snacks or a wallet. The NetPlus fabric is a win for eco-conscious shoppers."
The Patagonia Quandary 8in Shorts are built for hikers and travelers who want comfort, easy mobility, and environmental responsibility in one package. Made from stretch-woven 96% NetPlus postconsumer recycled nylon (sourced from recycled fishing nets) and 4% spandex plain weave, these shorts cut plastic pollution while offering reliable durability and freedom of movement. A PFC-free DWR finish helps shed light moisture, while the regular fit and curved waistband keep them secure and comfortable on any adventure.
Smart design delivers two front drop-in pockets, two back pockets (with a zippered right pocket), and a right thigh zip pocket for secure storage. Built-in details—like a hemostat/carabiner loop and an internal drawcord—add everyday travel flexibility and hiking utility.
