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

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.
