These hiking shorts are designed for comfort and versatility, now with a sleek, modernized fit for ease of movement and a slightly higher rise than the Quandary Pants. They are made of 96% NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution/4% spandex plain weave; with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs/PFAS) to resist light moisture. The inseam is 5"; also available in a 7" inseam.
Patagonia’s Quandary Shorts are still a regular fit with a mid rise that’s slightly higher than the Quandary Pants. They have been updated with a sleeker, more contoured lie-flat waistband and are now made with NetPlus® 100% recycled nylon fabric.

Details
- How It’s Made
- Programs
- bluesign® System
- bluesign® works in the supply chain to approve products that are safe for the environment, workers, and customers
- As more brands, manufacturers, and chemical suppliers become bluesign® system partners, Patagonia will continue to reduce the harmful environmental impacts of the global textile supply chain
- Material
- NetPlus® Recycled Fishing Nets
- NetPlus® material is made from 100% recycled discarded fishing nets collected from fishing communities around the world
- By turning fishing nets into gear with NetPlus material, Patagonia has kept over 1,400 metric tons of plastic waste out of the ocean
- Recycled Nylon
- Patagonia uses recycled nylon made from postindustrial waste fiber, leftover material from weaving mills, and postconsumer fishing nets
- By using recycled nylon, Patagonia decreases their dependence on virgin petroleum as a raw material source, and curb discards
- Spandex
- Spandex is a fast-drying material that provides significant strength and elasticity. Using recycled spandex offers the same stretch and quality while diverting waste from landfills
- Patagonia is moving away from using virgin petroleum sources for spandex, and recycled spandex helps them achieve this goal without losing quality and performance
- Made Without PFAS
- Patagonia is making all of their membranes and water-repellent finishes without intentionally-added PFAS by 2025
- As of Fall 2024, 99% of Patagonia’s fabric, by weight, with water-repellent chemistries is made without intentionally-added PFAS, helping decrease the manufacturing of harmful chemicals that can impact our health and the environment
