Trailhead Short - Men's

Just love the new Trailhead shorts I got this year. Comfortable and looks great - even after being worn for days with no washing. I rarely wear them with a belt, but I LOVE the idea that they have belt loops when needed. If I'm carrying some heavy camera gear, the belt loops are invaluable. Keep up the great work Coalatree.

I absolutely love them! I have bought the black, gray, and navy and between those, it’s what I’ve worn all summer long. They are incredibly versatile, but the best part is the only time I’ve needed to or felt like washing them was after swimming in the lake in them when i forgot swim trunks and after shoveling dirt and they were covered in dirt soaked in with sweat. Outside of those times, they never stink, they look great, and i can’t recommend them enough. I was put off a little bit by the long draw strings at first, but i figured out a way to tie them up and don’t notice any more. The attached pictures are my first two pairs that I’ve had for months and have been in one of these pairs of shorts at all times whether relaxing at the house or out running errands or working out or riding my bike…whatever. I just purchased the navy ones so i could have more complete color options. Unbelievable product and great customer service with any questions I’ve had!! I’d give these shorts more stars if possible.

Ridiculously great shorts, I love them so much more than Patagonia baggies. They're srsly technologically advanced - I once did two separate hikes in them and swam in a lake before washing and they never smelled. It boggles the mind.

Plus, it's really hard to explain but you don't need underwear with them. There's no liner, but somehow you don't chase and it feels like you're wearing underwear? So weird but I love it.

They're also really tough and durable, look great, and super comfy.

I had these shorts for about a year now and haven't taken them off yet. I wore these shorts when I rode my bicycle across america, bike tour in costa rica, while trail running, and rock climbing.. Hands down the most comfortable and durable shorts I've ever worn. Can't go back coalatree stuff is the bees knees. Sponsor?

they are not holding up so great. After one cold wash and hang to dry, the fabric is pilling. It is a shame as I like other features of the shorts such as that they pack well for travel and seem to remain pretty fresh from several day uses.

So I'm on my second pair of Trailhead Shorts (having already owned 2 pairs of Trailhead pants from the Kickstarter campaign initially followed by a subsequent purchase). Living in damp old Manchester, I have to admit that the Trailhead clothing sure comes in handy for all but the heaviest showers. For the kind of short relentless drizzle the UK is renowned for, I can wear my Trailhead shorts with gay abandon, confident that all I need do is simply shake off the beaded water droplets on top. I Do think the water resistance goes down a tad, based on my older pair but in general they're eminently comfortable shorts I just seem to find myself wearing a lot these days over your standard gym shorts. I don't know about anyone else but I've always found that the drawstrings are long enough to be bungee cords! Definitely needed double knots and tucking in on occasion. The ripstop part of the fabric is wonderful, in that I can go through brambles with ease (your legs from the knees down will be open to damage - get the Pants instead). At first glance the fabric comes across as smooth and only when you look closely can you tell it's technical wear of sorts. The fit is just fine for me, not too slim in the leg like dressy shorts these days, neither is it so airy that I have a draft billowing through. On that note, I find the length ends just above my knee which is how I prefer it and I'm of Napoleonic height.
As for communication, Coalatree are always prompt and engaging - my only regret is not popping by their store in Salt Lake City when I was visiting last summer.
Here's a photo of them being used on a rather rainy day actually. Stood up well to the spray on a river boat cruise.

I’m in love with the grey and green shorts and pants I recently ordered, they fit great and I love the colors! I also have a pair of black and blue pants, & black and brown shorts. Quite a collection I’ve got going on now. Some people say they wear clothes like these all summer long as they’re not warm enough for a real winter, but being from South FL, I literally wear them all the time, year round!

I have bought the other short design that used to be available for around the same price. They were not water proof as far as I know. But he loved them," None the Less"! They seem a bit long for day running.They should be fine for 100 milers in the mountains overnight in the rain...Lol..Include in a night drop bag. But I will update the post!!!

Look! If you need the best shorts in the wild or not! This is it!! No… brothers … really! find your fit and enjoy your Life! I have 2 pants, 2 shorts, will order every color…
I’m in Love! Thank you for creating amazing product! Love!

Love these shorts. I will be getting another pair.

Very comfortable and durable

Well made shorts that are comfortable and fit nicely.

Great shorts. Good length. Good fit. Good looking. Four pockets. Front ones are not as deep as on the pants, but still better than most others. I expect to be wearing these for a long time, and often.

I would love to see these in some lighter colors. They're not just for hiking.

These shorts are way way comfortable, sharp looking, perfect for hiking or swimming and everything in between. They will be with me on every trail going forward.

This is the second lot I have bought and would not hesitate to buy more. Great shorts that I use for long distance walking.

Just received my shorts last week and I’m pleasantly impressed with the product while hiking as well as routine wear around town. Love the freedom of movement, lightweight and quick drying capabilities. Even got caught out in the rain where my shirt was wet but my shorts kept me dry.
Hopefully the durability is as advertised as I look forward to putting it to the test!

When I find a piece of clothing I like I stick with it. I basically dress like a cartoon character and just wear the same outfit all of the time. Every morning I just stick my head out of the window to decide whether I'm going to wear coalatree pants or shorts that day. They're so comfortable I actually just wake up in them a lot of the time. They are also invincible. I was working on the seized bottom bracket of a bicycle once and managed to cut my leg with the chainring through the pants. Without ripping the pants. I gift them to my friends and family and now we all just show up places wearing the same pants. The shorts are the same, just with extra airflow for extra hot days. Anyways buy these.

Pros:
Material was durable
The fit was very forgiving for someone with larger hips and thighs without looking like I'm wearing a diaper

Cons:
Several seams are starting to unravel after two wears

True size fit... Comfort right out of the box. Won't be my last pair

I'm pretty sure Coalatree discovered the perfect combination of ingredients for their Trailhead Shorts and Trailhead Pants. I love the material, the durability, the comfort and the colors. The deep pockets are great for us pack rats. And I also really appreciate that even though they have an elastic waistband, but belt loops too. I hate not being able to wear a belt!

This is my third pair of the trailhead shorts and I also own two pairs of the pants. It's funny because I was the VICTIM of a targeted IG ad xD it got me good! I ended up trying one pair and here I am now on my fifth. They are comfortable and perfect for the summer heat. I live in Tucson, AZ where it's been averaging about 108ºF during the day this summer and these shorts keep me cool and comfortable. One thing that I particularly like about these is that they have belt loops. I do not wear a belt with them (although I suppose you could) but I I very used to hanging my keys off of my left hip on the belt loop of my jeans, so finding a comfortable and durable pair of shorts that are stretchy and also have that water resistant coating where I can even hang my keys like usual really just is super satisfying. I have a feeling I'm going to eventually have every color they sell lol.

My new favorite shorts. I got them because I have the pants and they’re the best
I’ve ever worn. I went with men’s just because I prefer my shorts to be a little longer.

Ohh yesss its on!

Was just in Moab Utah and these pants and shorts were my go to while there. Kept me cool and warm and dry for this trip that started in the desert and ended in the mountains of Colorado

Great shorts. Could use a small cargo pocket or zipper pockets though
