Marmot Men's Trailway UPF 50 Short 8" in Desert Khaki
Chinos
The verdict
A fine option for hot-weather hiking or travel where sun protection matters more than full pant coverage.
Fit
The same Trailway cut as the full pant, cropped to an 8-inch inseam, with a straight rather than slim leg opening.
Quality
Same lightweight Trailway fabric as the pant version -- adequate for casual trail wear, not built for bushwhacking or heavy scrambling.
Is the price fair?
$80 is reasonable for a UPF hiking short in this category, priced appropriately below the full-length pant.
Best for
Hikers and travelers wanting sun protection in hot weather without full-length pant coverage.
Care
Machine wash cold and air dry to help preserve the sun-protective treatment.
