Mammut Runbold Short

If we had to pick one pair of shorts to wear every single day, Mammut’s Runbold Shorts would be in the running. Mammut managed to equip the Runbold Shorts with no less than four zippered pockets (one back, two front, and one thigh), and you’d have to be a hoarder to make the most of all that storage. From afar, the Runbolds appear to be classic cotton cargo shorts, but that’s just camouflage—they’re actually stretchy hiking shorts built from an ultra-thin, ultra-light, abrasion-resistant nylon and spandex blend. This lightweight, breathable fabric is remarkably packable, making the Runbolds a top choice for backpackers, vanlifers, and international travelers. PSA: the fit is on the slim side, so if you’ve got bobsledder quads or powerlifter glutes, we suggest you look elsewhere.
