Why We Built The Wasatch Ripstop 3.5in Short
"The belt sits in the perfect place and doesn't get in the way of my harness or backpack. When I want to wear it higher, I can cinch it in for a tighter fit." —Gearhead® Expert Jo
We designed the Wasatch Ripstop Short for venturing along lightly trafficked singletrack that leads to hard-earned views. The built-in stretch gives us room to straddle over fallen trees, and the lightweight fabric brushes off overreaching brush and quickly dries away summit drizzles.

Where have these been all my life!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- small
Bought these a month ago and pretty much haven't taken them off. They fit perfectly (I am a S/M and went with a small) with plenty of room for athletic thighs! They don't ride up or down and the zip pockets fit my phone and snacks for the day without looking too bunchy. Please add more colors!!

Alas, the perfect hiking short! As soon as I put these on I knew I had to order all the colors. I am a true medium/ size 8 and these fit perfectly. I hate tight shorts around the waist and thigh and these have just enough room in both. I love the belt for when I load up the zippered pockets. I also love the side detail on the hem (very flattering!) and the longer coverage in the back. 10/10 Backcountry!

I’m not sure if the previous versions ran large but the one I ordered May 2024 Kalamata runs true to size. I’m usually between a small and medium depending on the brand and a 6/8 size and the medium fits really well. These shorts are so lightweight and the perfect length. The zippered front pockets just fit my iphone 14 pro with a case. The belt is great for a customized fit. I find elastic bottoms will slide down if you have things in the pockets- doesn’t happen with these!

These are great shorts for hiking, they do run big so I ordered a XS instead of a S and they fit perfect!

Changed from Old Version
I am so bummed backcountry has changed the fit of these shorts from an older version. I ordered a new pair thinking they would fit the same but they are tighter and do not look as good as my last pair. I am bummed because they are otherwise such a nice color!

Fave Summer Short
- Familiarity:

- Size Bought:
- S

I wore these non-stop this summer. I love the ripstop material - they're durable and quick dry. I have the lavender color and black and they are so flattering. The drop hem in the back gives a bit more coverage. The integrated adjustable belt is a great feature, and it's not obstructed by a climbing harness or backpacking waist belt. I am typically a small, but would recommend sizing down to an XS since they run large. Perfect for any summer adventure from river to rock. Bring on the warm weather!

These shorts fit well. They give me a nice shape to my straight body due to the belt and how they curve up around the hem line. I am going to get another pair

The Perfect Outdoor Short
- Familiarity:

- Size Bought:
- Small

After a long, long search, I feel like I've finally found the perfect outdoor short. It's high-waisted, it has large, zippered pockets, you can adjust the waist for a great fit, and it dries fast without feeling like you're wearing a pair of board shorts. These fit true to size for me, I normally wear a size 2, 25-26 waist and these fit well with no gapping and I feel like I have some room should I gain a few pounds. I got the black but am highly considering additional colors before they sell out!

These shorts are everything

These are the perfect hiking short. They are fantastic quality and are comfortable. I am usually between a small and medium in shorts and the small fit perfectly where I have enough room but don't feel like I'm squeezing into them. The adjustable waist is also very helpful. I hope they restock because I will be buying more colors!
