Description<p><strong>What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:</strong></p><p> "I wear these when the day includes scrambling, hiking, and hanging around camp afterward. The ripstop fabric feels tough but stays comfortable in the heat, and the stretch makes a big difference when you’re stepping over rocks. The integrated belt keeps the fit dialed without fuss."</p><p>We pull on the Wasatch Ripstop Short when the plan includes uneven ground, long miles, and time well spent outside. Built by Backcountry for warm-weather adventures, this short balances rugged durability with all-day comfort so we can move freely from trail to town without changing layers.</p><p>The recycled stretch ripstop fabric holds up to abrasion while staying light and breathable in the heat. A gusseted crotch improves range of motion for scrambling and hiking, while the elastic waist with an integrated belt keeps the fit secure without digging in.
