This combination sheds external moisture, dirt and dust. The Wildlands Shorts have lots of pockets, with mesh drain panels for water crossings. They also have a Micro-Chamois lined waist and an integrated, easily adjustable, webbing belt. All features of Mountain Hardwear Wildlands shorts have been designed for comfort and accessibility on the trail.
