As the weather is slowly getting warmer, it's time to pull out all the shorts stuck on the back shelf in your closet. After reading the first sentence, you may have realized that you've lost or destroyed last year's pair, and so you have none to reach for. That's exactly why we've prepared a short article in which we'll show you which shorts shouldn't be missing from your wardrobe this summer. We'll be selecting them based on the occasions where you can use them.
Shorts for the city
For everyday wear, for the city, or wherever you're headed, we recommend choosing shorts made from a comfortable cotton material. There's nothing worse than uncomfortable shorts that pinch and cling to your thighs while sitting. That's why you should choose breathable shorts that you can wear all day long. A favorite among our customers are the cotton Vintage shorts by Surplus , which stand out with their trendy design. They have large pockets on the sides where you can store your phone, wallet, or other EDC gear. Another interesting model is definitely the Chino shorts, designed for men who prefer more elegant cuts.
For hiking, fishing, or hunting
Outdoor shorts should meet somewhat more demanding tasks than those for everyday wear. The basic function is again comfort, which we would complement with another one, and that is durability. Proper outdoor shorts should be adapted for staying in nature, where you will probably be on your knees more often, or on various trails in the mountains and forest - here the shorts must protect you, for example, from scratches caused by branches and twigs. Pockets (for a map or EDC gear) and stretch panels that provide extra freedom of movement are a given. Such features are also found in the Gomati shorts by Pentagon, which are durable, designed for demanding outdoor activities, and at the same time stylish - they will also come in handy on ordinary days.
For active people who want to blend in with nature, we also offer shorts with a tree pattern, the so-called realtree, by the manufacturer Loshan. They are especially popular among hunters, fishermen, and wildlife photographers. This type of shorts belongs to tactical clothing, whose primary purpose is to blend in with the terrain and protect the body from damage and injury. Tactical clothing is equipped with Rip-stop fabric with high tear strength - meaning that when the fabric tears, the tear does not continue to spread as it would with other materials.
Tactical clothing doesn't have to feature only a realtree pattern. If you're not a fan of it, you can still choose shorts in classic colors such as olive, dark green, or beige-coyote. In these colors, and in many others as well, you'll find the Urban Tactical Rip-stop 11 model by Helikon. This model is also one of the most popular among our customers.
If you are doing more demanding work in a wet environment, it is important that the pants are coated with a waterproof layer. Such material does not absorb water as quickly, and thus keeps you dry during your activities. Tactical pants from the manufacturer MFH also have these properties. Besides being partially water-resistant, they are also known for their cut and reinforced seat area.
Shorts for home wear
For wearing at home, comfort is the top priority, which is guaranteed by sweatpants shorts. You can use them not only at home, but also for sports activities or around town, since they often come in a stylish design. They should have a looser cut, especially around the waist. Pockets for storing valuables should not be missing either. For fans of the camouflage pattern, we recommend sweatpants shorts from the manufacturer Mil-tec. For those who prefer a simple design and classic style, we offer shorts from the manufacturers Malfini, or Urban Classics.
