Women's Shorts at Arc'teryx

Engineered for freedom of movement and durability, our collection of women's hiking shorts is ideal for demanding outdoor pursuits, from trail running to trekking. This range includes versatile options such as flexible bike shorts for hiking, which offer a streamlined fit and reduce chafing during long-distance efforts. Crafted from high-performance, quick-drying fabrics, these shorts provide the perfect blend of comfort and technical functionality for any warm-weather adventure. Pair them with our breathable women's hiking shirts and women's hiking shoes for a high-performance outfit.

Women's Shorts for Hiking

Our women's hiking shorts are suitable in warmer conditions, due to their snug, chafe-free fit and superb flexibility. Their stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric allows for unrestricted movement while scrambling or navigating steep terrain. For added utility, consider pairing them with a lightweight women's windbreaker jacket for protection against unpredictable mountain weather.

Features to Look for in Women's Hiking Shorts

When selecting your hiking shorts, prioritise features that enhance durability, comfort, and function. Look for robust, abrasion-resistant fabrics that can withstand contact with rocks and foliage, as well as quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties. Practical features such as strategically placed pockets for essentials, a gusseted crotch for enhanced mobility, and an adjustable waistband for a secure fit are also key indicators of a well-designed hiking short.

What material is best for hiking shorts to prevent chafing?

To prevent chafing, the best materials for hiking shorts are smooth, moisture-wicking synthetic blends, such as nylon or polyester with a good amount of elastane. These fabrics effectively pull sweat away from the skin, reducing the friction that causes irritation. Additionally, hiking shorts with flatlock seams and a gusseted crotch are specifically designed to minimise rubbing in high-friction areas, ensuring your comfort over many miles.
