Our design team spent two seasons wearing early versions of the Low Tide Hiking Short on the ridge trail behind the workshop. A seven-inch short with a gusseted seat and zip pockets that stay put on scrambles.
It is made from stretch nylon canvas with a DWR finish, chosen because it handles abrasion from pack straps and still softens after a few washes. The cut is relaxed through the shoulders with articulated elbows, so reaching for a handhold never pulls the hem up past your waist.
Seams are flat-felled where they meet your skin and taped where the weather comes in. We moved the side seams forward so a hip belt sits on fabric instead of stitching, which sounds small until mile nine.
The colors are dyed in small lots, so each run carries a slight variation in tone. We think that is part of the charm; your piece will fade along its own path as it collects sun and stories.
Pockets are placed where hands naturally fall, with one zippered stash big enough for a phone and a folded paper map. Every zipper pull is a looped cord you can grab with gloves on.
- Articulated elbows for full reach
- Two hand pockets plus one zip chest pocket
- Glove-friendly cord zipper pulls
- Reinforced shoulders where straps sit
- Repairable — spare buttons and patches included

Care
Care
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Hang to dry. Do not use fabric softener, which clogs the weave and reduces breathability. Re-apply a wash-in water repellent once a season if water stops beading.

Good, not perfect
I usually take a medium and the medium fit well, maybe a touch long in the sleeves which I actually like.

Sturdy and simple
Pockets are well placed. I wish there were one more interior pocket but that is a minor complaint.

Held up on a long trip
Pockets are well placed. I wish there were one more interior pocket but that is a minor complaint. Wore this for four days on a coastal route and it never felt clammy. The cut leaves room for a base layer underneath.

Disappointed with shipping
Pockets are well placed. I wish there were one more interior pocket but that is a minor complaint. Color is richer than the photos. The fabric was stiff for the first week and then relaxed nicely.
