Wherever we roam—from dusty deserts to lush forests—the Patagonia Quandary 5in Short is ready for the adventure. The featherweight material wicks and breathes in the heat, sheds moisture in misty conditions, and blocks crisping rays on exposed ridgelines. As we explore, the contoured waist with customizable drawcord sits smooth and discreet under our pack for a stay-put fit that doesn't distract.
