Hiking Shorts

Whether you're tackling the Pennine Way or exploring local trails, the right hiking shorts make warm-weather walking far more comfortable. Our range includes lightweight options for summer rambles and more robust designs built to handle rough terrain and undergrowth. From breathable fabrics that keep you cool on steep ascents to reinforced styles that won't snag on rocks, you'll find shorts suited to British conditions and varied outdoor pursuits.

How to Choose Hiking Shorts

Consider the terrain. Lightweight, stretchy shorts work well for established paths and summer day hikes. If you're venturing into wilder ground—scrambling, bushcraft, or cross-country routes—look for reinforced fabrics and abrasion-resistant panels.

Think about movement. Shorts with elastane or mechanical stretch allow a full range of motion on steep climbs. An articulated cut or gusseted crotch prevents restriction when stepping over obstacles.

Check the features. Multiple pockets keep essentials accessible—zippered pockets secure valuables on technical terrain. A built-in belt or adjustable waistband ensures a secure fit under a hip belt or when carrying a pack.

Match the conditions. For unpredictable British weather, a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish helps shed light rain. Quick-drying fabrics prove useful when crossing streams or caught in a shower.

Get the length right. Inseam length affects both coverage and ventilation. Shorter cuts (5-7 inches) maximise airflow; longer options (9-11 inches) offer more protection from vegetation and sun exposure.
