Hiking shorts
Do you enjoy short walks along the lake, or long hikes through the mountains? Then choose hiking shorts that make these hikes as comfortable as possible. We're happy to help you choose the right hiking shorts.
Why wear hiking shorts?
While hiking, choosing the right clothing remains important. Is warm weather forecast? Then hiking shorts, or hiking trousers you can zip off, aren't a bad idea. When hiking in warm weather you'll notice you sweat faster, and this moisture needs to be wicked away as quickly as possible. Thanks to the breathable material of hiking shorts, perspiration is carried away this way.
What features should my hiking shorts have?
Hiking shorts are sturdy, supple shorts made from lightweight material. It's also important that the shorts are quick-drying, durable (wear-resistant), water-repellent, windproof and stain-resistant. Some hiking shorts even offer UV protection. Hiking shorts come with plenty of pockets so you can store items without necessarily having to bring a bag. The shorts need to be able to take a knock. We recommend choosing hiking shorts made from nylon, possibly combined with elastane. Nylon is lightweight and has moisture-wicking properties. At Plutosport.nl you'll find hiking shorts for both women and men; for women there are even hiking skorts. That's a skirt with built-in shorts, giving a slightly more feminine look!
