Turbat Dja Shorts

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Light, breathable and cut for movement in hot conditions. A dependable option for travel, trekking and summer hill days.

Turbat says: 

Ultra light shorts for hot climates or relaxing by the sea. They can always be taken with you as a change of clothes at a hotel or campsite. They do not take up space in the backpack. Made of UPF 50+ UV protection material.

Our Verdict

The Dja Shorts from Turbat deliver exactly what’s needed from warm-weather kit: minimal weight, fast drying, and reliable coverage. At 147g (Medium), they utilise a thin yet surprisingly robust blend of nylon, polyester, and elastane that feels soft and stretches easily. The cut is simple yet well-shaped, featuring an elastic waistband that stays in place during extended efforts.

Breathability is strong, the weave allows decent airflow, while the UPF 50+ rating adds confidence on sun-exposed terrain. Two zipped hand pockets provide secure storage without bulk, and the material dries quickly after high-output activity or washing at camp. There’s no lining or excess trim, which keeps things comfortable under a pack or harness.
