Patagonia Quandary Hiking Shorts are made for comfort and freedom of movement on the trail, with a modern fit and a slightly higher waist than the Quandary Pants.

The shorts are constructed from 96 % NetPlus® recycled nylon sourced from reclaimed fishing nets, combined with 4 % elastane for a good stretch. The fabric features a durable water-repellent finish with no added PFAS and handles light moisture well. The lightweight, technical material moves with the body while helping to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean.

The waistband is fitted with belt loops, a zip fly, a metal button, and a hidden drawcord for easy adjustment. For storage, the shorts offer two roomy front pockets and two back pockets, along with a reinforced loop on the right front pocket for a carabiner or haemostat.

With their mid-rise waist and relaxed, technical feel, the Quandary Hiking Shorts work equally well on the trail and in everyday life.
