Patagonia M's Quandary Short 8"

There's a pleasing circularity to the Patagonia M's Quandary Short 8". The fabric is 96% NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon — made from fishing nets pulled out of the ocean — and here you are, wearing them on the water. Full circle.

Versatile, comfortable, and built for whatever the day throws at you. A stretch-woven blend with a PFAS-free DWR finish, a curved waistband that actually stays put, and enough pockets to keep your gear organized without looking like a tackle box exploded on your hips.

The Details

• 96% NetPlus® Recycled Nylon / 4% Spandex — Stretch-woven, bluesign® approved, and made from reclaimed fishing nets. Light, technical, and doing its part.
• PFAS-Free DWR Finish — Sheds light moisture without the chemistry you don’t want.
• Regular Fit — Room to move on the trail, the boat, or wherever the day takes you.
• Curved Waistband — Contours to the hips, stays in place. Zipper fly, metal-button closure, internal drawcord.
• Five Pockets — Two front, two back (right is zippered), plus a right-thigh zip pocket. Plenty of real estate.
• Reinforced Hemostat/Carabiner Loop — Front-right pocket. Because of course.
• 8" Inseam — Also available in 10" if you prefer a little more coverage.
• Made in Vietnam — Weight: 213 g (7.5 oz)

Care

Machine wash warm, tumble dry low, cool iron. Do not bleach.

From the ocean, back to the river. Not a bad journey for a pair of shorts.
