These shorts are built for days when warm summer winds mix with dry desert heat; the Men's Outdoor Research Equinox Cargo Shorts feature lightweight, quick-dry fabric that provides UPF 30 protection against intense rays and allows sweat or sudden summer rain drops to evaporate rapidly. A gusseted crotch means you'll have easy freedom of movement when hiking up steep trails. With a longer length of the legs than standard shorts, you'll have extra coverage to protect against sharp branches and brush. Zippered cargo pockets offer abundant storage for an easy access snack or multi-tool.
