What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "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."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. 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. A water-resistant finish sheds light moisture, and functional pockets keep essentials close when we’re on the move. Shop the Full Wasatch Collection
