Rab Men's Rival Shorts

So what's the deal with cargo shorts? You're going into nature, where literally nobody cares what you're wearing, and yet here we are, obsessing over the perfect pair. But okay, fine—if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it right.

Enter Rab's Rival Shorts in Cinder. These aren't your dad's cargo shorts (you know, the ones he insists are "still perfectly good"). These are the shorts that understand you want to look like you know what you're doing on the trail, even if you're mostly just there for the Instagram photos.

The Rival Short is a durable six-pocket cargo pant designed for daily use over the summer months. The tough mid-weight cotton/elastane fabric is breathable and stretchy, and has been enzyme-washed for a softer feel and a more casual, lived-in style. Cut for a regular fit with a 31cm leg, a zip fly and belt loops, the Rival Shorts also feature an inner hanging loop for easy drying between day trips. With a pair of open hand pockets at the hips plus two button-fastened pockets at the rear and a pair of large cargo-style pockets on the thighs, they give you all the storage space you need for long days on the trail.

Whether you want to climb light, hike fast or add carrying flexibility to your everyday life, Rab's tough cargo-style Rival Short is a highly effective summer solution. Translation: these shorts can handle your ambitions, even if those ambitions are just "make it to the viewpoint without complaining."
