These ocean-saving shorts turn recycled fishing nets into your next adventure companion. Built tough with 5 pockets and a curved waistband for all-day comfort on any trail.
Whether you're tackling technical trails or pedaling through city streets, the Patagonia Quandary Shorts deliver the versatility and performance that active lifestyles demand. Built from innovative NetPlus® recycled nylon made from reclaimed fishing nets, these hiking shorts prove you don't have to choose between environmental responsibility and outdoor performance. The stretch-woven fabric moves with you through every stride and pedal stroke, while the anatomically curved waistband stays put during dynamic movement thanks to its contoured design and internal drawcord system. Light moisture rolls right off the PFC-free DWR finish, and with five thoughtfully placed pockets including zippered security options, you'll have secure storage for everything from trail snacks to your phone. At 8 inches, they hit that sweet spot for coverage and freedom of movement, making them equally at home on mountain trails, bike paths, or weekend errands around town.
