Fjallraven says:

High Coast Pack Shorts for men are perfect for all kinds of outdoor activities whether it’s for work, hiking or water sports. They will dry fast and keep you cool and comfortable on hot days. The pockets have mesh linings so can be opened for extra ventilation and they take up minimal space in your bag when travelling.

Our Verdict

The Fjällräven High Coast Pack Shorts are simple but effective, especially when the priority is staying cool and moving freely. At 190g (medium), they’re light without feeling flimsy, and the recycled fabric has a smooth finish with just enough stretch to stay comfortable through long days. I liked the 8-inch inseam—it gives decent coverage without bunching or restricting movement—and the elastic at the back of the waist helps with fit under a pack.

The hand pockets are mesh-lined, which adds a bit of airflow when things heat up. The fact that they pack down into one of the pockets is genuinely handy for travel or minimalist kits. There’s no extra storage or fuss, but that’s part of the appeal.
