Outdoor Shorts
Why wear hiking shorts?
When hiking, it remains important to choose the right hiking clothing. Is warm weather predicted? Then wearing hiking shorts or pants that you can zip off is not a bad idea. While hiking in warm weather, you will notice that you sweat faster, and this moisture needs to be removed as quickly as possible. The breathable material of hiking shorts helps to wick away perspiration.
What characteristics should my hiking shorts have?
Hiking shorts are sturdy, flexible shorts made of lightweight material. It is also important that the shorts are quick-drying, durable (abrasion-resistant), water-repellent, windproof, and stain-resistant. Some hiking shorts even offer UV protection. Hiking shorts come with many pockets so you can store your belongings and may not necessarily need to carry a bag. The shorts should be able to withstand rough conditions. We recommend choosing hiking shorts made of nylon, possibly combined with elastane. Nylon is lightweight and has moisture-wicking properties. At Plutosport.nl, you can find hiking shorts for both women and men, and for women, there are even hiking skorts. This is a skirt with inner shorts and looks a bit more feminine!
