The Smartwool Men's Merino 7" Cargo Hike Short is the ultimate trail-ready companion for high-mileage days. Blending the natural temperature regulation and odor-resistance of merino wool with the durability and quick-drying properties of recycled nylon, these shorts are built to withstand rugged environments. With an athletic, body-skimming fit and a 7-inch inseam, they provide exceptional mobility and breathability that easily transitions from the backcountry to a post-hike gathering.

Care Instructions
To preserve the merino wool and the elastane stretch fibers, follow these care steps:
-
Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Wash with like colors. Fasten the snap closure and zipper before washing to prevent snagging.
-
Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
-
Drying: Dry flat or line dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can degrade the spandex and cause the merino wool to shrink.
-
Ironing / Dry Cleaning: Cool iron as needed, but do not iron logos or decorative elements. Do not dry clean.
X-Boundaries Professional Tips
-
The Perfect Thru-Hiker Short: The internal drawcord is a massive advantage on long-distance treks. If you start dropping trail weight or if your cargo pocket is heavily loaded with a smartphone, the drawcord prevents the shorts from sagging without requiring a bulky, heavy belt under your backpack.
-
Scramble with Confidence: Unlike 100% merino garments which can be delicate, the 35% nylon face of these shorts makes them highly abrasion-resistant. You can confidently sit on abrasive granite or scramble up scree fields without worrying about immediate tears.
-
Mind the Pockets in the Wash: Before tossing these in the wash, make sure to completely empty the pockets and zip the cargo pocket shut. Because the pocket bags are 100% polyester, keeping them smooth and zipped prevents them from aggressively twisting and pulling on the surrounding wool-blend fabric during the spin cycle.

Bought this strap to attach to my Montbell hat, the strap is of high quality and the adjustment of the buckle is smooth and easy.
Material looks good, I have used their short sleeves before and it works very well in hot and humid weather. Now trying out their long sleeves and would expect it to be the same.

Montbell Thermal Men's Trail Action Jacket - CLIMAPLUS® Active
This is to replace what I’d lost on a recent trip. The goretex works very well, shielded me from sudden downpour. The cap is also very fitted for me, not all caps can do. Though the price here in SG is $20 more than what I got from Japan but it’s worth the buy!
