When spending time outdoors, it’s tempting to opt for longer pants for added protection from both the sun and the unpredictable elements of the beach or trail. However, as the weather heats up, you’ll want to make sure your legs can breathe. Shorts allow you to move more easily while also helping ensure that you don’t overheat or lose too much water from unnecessary sweating. But if you are going to go with shorts, make sure that you’ve done your due diligence and pick up a pair that can be both durable and comfortable. Relwen, the Ohio-based brand known for its ability to blend form and function for the outdoor arena, has a fantastic option in its Tropic Weave Windshort.
Available in four colorways — Bright Navy, Spearmint, Sand, and Light Charcoal — the shorts boast a lightweight 165gsm construction, built with a blend of cotton (97%) and spandex (3%), which is both soft enough to keep you comfortable all day and stretchy enough that you won’t feel limited in what you can do. The spandex stretch is supplemented by a mountaineering-style crotch gusset and an elastic drawcord waistband that fits snugly but gives you freedom of movement when you need it to. Featuring a 7.5-inch inseam, these shorts boast a relaxed fit that’s true to size.
Sporting a touch of vintage influence, the Tropic Weave Windshort brings together heritage camping gear and modern construction technologies to make the perfect outdoor pant solution. In terms of storage, there are a pair of zippered hand pockets — stitched through for a more streamlined look — and a rear zippered pocket, all made from 100% polyester mesh.
If you’re looking for your new favorite pair of outdoor shorts for the summertime, head over to Huckberry’s web store to find the Relwen Tropic Weave Windshort 7.5” for $158.
