Talus 9-Inch Trail Short

A nine-inch inseam splits the difference: long enough for brush and chafe-free pack miles, short enough to keep the airflow honest in July. Lightweight stretch ripstop dries fast after creek crossings, the gusseted crotch keeps the big steps comfortable, and a zippered right-hand pocket locks down keys and a card. The internal drawcord holds through a full day without a belt.
