Soft trails layered with needles and moss, or hard sandstone sculpted by the wind; any terrain proves fair ground for high-output activity in the new Patagonia Trail Maker Shorts for Men. A durable yet supple 3.5-oz 91% all-recycled polyester/9%spandex blend, with a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish, forms the main short; the moisture-wicking, formfitting liner shorts use a soft and stretchy tricot. Details include an elasticized waistband with internal drawcord, reflective heat-transfer logos on front and back, and lots of pockets: two front drop-in, two large back (one zippered), and one side drop-in secured with hook-and-loop closure. Contrast stitching and a faux fly create a casual enough look to go straight from the trail to rehydration time at the margarita bar. Inseam (size M) is 11". Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Customer Reviews for the Trail Maker Patagonia Men's Shorts

FullGallop - August 24, 2011

Another great short from Patagonia
I just bought my 3rd pair of these shorts a couple days ago and am waiting for them to arrive as I write this. I liked the first pair so much I couldn't resist. Along with the Patagonia Ultra shorts and the 9 trails shorts I think these are the best all around versatile shorts I've owned. The liner is great for chaffe prevention and wicking. I can hike all day in these and still feel "fresh". The liner and outer fabric are very comfy and surprisingly durable and they dry very fast. The popckets are well thought out and the style is nice enough to wear casually or out to dinner. Make no mistake though, they are meant for abuse and hard work and play! You can't go wrong with any Patagonia shorts and these are no exception.

Great short
Just ran a half in this short and it performed as well as the Nine Trails short. Vented well, dried quickly after washing and looked appropriate enough for an outing. The fit is similar to Nine Trails (I'm 6'2" and weigh 180lbs and the L fit perfectly). The zippered pocket is great for carrying ID, credit cards or gels during a run. It also has a built-in compression short which is a nice addition. It's expensive, but most things worth owning usually cost a little more. I really like this short - a new favorite.
