Shorts
The verdict
A reasonable budget pick for sun-protective hiking shorts, with a slightly longer 5" inseam than the brand's shorter option.
Fit
Expect a relaxed, hiking-friendly 5" cut with some stretch; true to size, sizing up for extra room over leggings.
Quality
UPF 50 sun protection is the main selling point here; at this price, expect basic construction rather than reinforced trail-ready fabric.
Is the price fair?
At $34.99, this is budget-tier for hiking shorts — fair for casual sun protection, not built for rugged use.
Best for
Casual hikers and travelers who want sun coverage at a low price.
Care
Machine wash cold and air dry to help the UPF coating last.
