Lightstride 9in Short delivers stretch, storage, and durability for trail and travel
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“These shorts are a solid option for long days outside. The FlashDry-XD fabric is breathable and tough, and the 9-inch inseam gives me great coverage for rough terrain. I love the secure zip pockets and the fact that they don’t ride up or cling when it gets hot.”
From backcountry trails to dusty switchbacks, the Lightstride 9in Short is built to keep us moving comfortably through every mile. The North Face engineered these shorts with FlashDry-XD™ tech to wick sweat fast and resist abrasion, while a non-PFC DWR finish provides light protection against unexpected weather. With a 9-inch inseam, they offer the coverage we want when navigating overgrown paths or scrambling up rocky slopes.
The elastic waistband with internal drawcord makes for a secure and adjustable fit, and the added stretch ensures we never feel restricted. A gusseted crotch enhances mobility, and well-placed storage—including open hand pockets, a zippered thigh pocket, and a secure rear pocket—means essentials stay within reach and safely stashed. For long-distance days or quick morning hikes, these shorts are designed for comfort, performance, and repeat adventure.
