9.5in lightweight stretch hiking shorts with zipped thigh pockets

Key Features

Lightweight stretch fabric moves naturally with every step on the trail.

Zipped thigh pockets keep phones, maps and keys secure on the move.

Zipped back pockets add secure storage for wallets and valuables.

Wicking mesh pocketing helps keep you cool in hot, humid conditions.

A durable water-repellent finish sheds light rain and trail grime.

The 5.11 Trail Shorts are built for the trail rather than the pavement. A lightweight polyester and elastane fabric with Enduro-Flex properties stretches with every step, while a DWR finish helps shed light rain and trail grime, making these a dependable choice for hiking, camping and outdoor adventures.

Comfort in hot, humid conditions comes from wicking mesh pocketing and an internal drainage eyelet. Eight pockets include zipped thigh pockets and zipped back pockets for valuables, knife-reinforced hand pockets and back yoke utility pockets. A comfort waistband, reinforced belt loops with a centre-back webbing loop and a running gusset complete a short designed for long days outdoors.

Sizing Instructions

How to Measure
Use your chest, neck, and arm length to find the right size for tops and outerwear. Use your waist measurement — where you actually wear your trousers — for bottoms and belts.

Neck
Measure around the base of your neck, where a collar would sit.

Chest
Measure under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Arm Length
Slightly bend your elbow. Measure from the center back of your neck, over the top of your shoulder, and down to your wrist.

Pant Waist
Measure around your natural waistline — where your trousers actually sit, not necessarily your narrowest point.

Hip
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Inseam
Measure from the crotch straight down the inside of the leg to your ankle, or to your preferred trouser length.

Sizing instructions diagram
Measurements are approximate — for the best fit, compare against a similar garment you already own.
