The North Face

Lightstride Short - Men's

FlashDry technology is a proprietary fabric treatment by The North Face that enhances moisture-wicking properties. It quickly evaporates sweat, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activities like hiking or running. This means you can stay focused on your adventure without feeling weighed down by damp clothing.

DWR is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant, allowing them to repel light rain and splashes. The non-PFC DWR used in our products is environmentally friendly, meaning you can enjoy your outdoor activities without worrying about harmful chemicals. This feature helps keep you dry in unexpected weather conditions.

Shorts made from recycled polyester are a sustainable choice, as they are produced from recycled materials like plastic bottles or old garments. By choosing these shorts, you help reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact associated with producing new fabrics. It’s a great way to support eco-friendly practices while enjoying high-quality apparel.

Elastane, also known as spandex or Lycra, is a stretchy material that is blended with other fabrics to provide flexibility and comfort. This allows the shorts to move with your body, making them ideal for active pursuits like hiking, running, or climbing. The added stretch ensures a snug yet comfortable fit, enhancing your overall experience.

The inseam measurement refers to the length of the inner seam of the shorts, from the crotch to the hem. A 7-inch inseam means the shorts are relatively short, making them perfect for warm weather and active movement. This length allows for better airflow and freedom of movement, which is essential for outdoor activities.

Absolutely! Our shorts are designed with versatility in mind. The combination of FlashDry technology, DWR treatment, and elastane ensures that they are comfortable and functional for both casual outings and intense workouts. Whether you're going for a run, hitting the trails, or just hanging out with friends, these shorts will keep you looking and feeling great.
