The Ripstop Performance Shorts from The American Outdoorsman are built for those who live life outside. Designed with premium materials and purpose-driven functionality, these shorts deliver the durability, comfort, and versatility needed for hiking trails, fishing trips, travel days, and everyday outdoor living. Constructed from stretch micro-ripstop fabric (86% nylon / 14% spandex), the material provides lightweight durability while allowing natural movement during active adventures. The ripstop weave adds resilience against snags and wear, while the stretch construction ensures flexibility when climbing, walking, or exploring. To help protect you during long days outdoors, the fabric also includes UPF 50 sun protection, shielding skin from harmful UV exposure. A thoughtfully engineered five-pocket cargo layout keeps essentials secure and accessible. Dual hip pockets provide quick access storage, while reverse entry back pockets with hidden Velcro closures keep valuables protected. A vertical zip leg pocket with a rubber-tipped zipper pull secures smaller items during movement. Comfort is equally important. The two-piece waistband construction with an interior drawstring offers an adjustable fit that stays comfortable through changing conditions and activity levels. Additional functional details like the easy-access utility loop provide convenient attachment for small tools or accessories, making these shorts ideal for outdoor work, travel, or adventure. With a modern 8.5-inch inseam, the Ripstop Cargo Shorts deliver a clean, classic look that transitions easily from trail to town. Durable materials. Thoughtful design. Outdoor performance. This is the everyday adventure gear you expect from The American Outdoorsman.
