Patagonia Outdoor Everyday Shorts – 6 inch

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Light, fast-drying, and made with a conscience—these shorts feel right at home on the trail or in town.

Patagonia says: 

Rugged and multifunctional, this daily grabber is built from 96% NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution/4% spandex plain weave that provides ample stretch for moving in comfort. The fabric is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs/PFAS). Inseam is 6″. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.

Our Verdict

The latest Patagonia Outdoor Everyday Shorts keep things deliberately straightforward. They’re light but still feel robust. At 246g (size M), the recycled nylon blend offers just enough stretch for scrambling or steep climbs. The fabric feels smooth against the skin and doesn’t cling, even when damp. The elastic waistband and integrated belt hold comfortably without digging in or shifting under a pack.

The 6-inch inseam strikes a nice balance—unrestrictive without veering into baggy territory. Storage is generous for a minimalist short, with five pockets, including two cargo-style and a rear with a hook-and-loop closure.
