Our most technical active shorts built with two of our top-performing and best-selling fabrics; versatile Astroman and renowned Ferrosi. These are perfect for fast pursuits where lightweight durability is key, and use an engineered stretch waistband that’s snug to get on and stays in place.
Named after the same best-selling Astroman fabric of our most popular sun shirts, the Astro Shorts take a technical twist on one of the outdoor's most important apparel essentials. The combo of our Astroman and Krypta fabrics is to thank for making these shorts so lightweight, stretchy, breathable, as well as durable and abrasion-resistant - perfect for those off trail sections that require a bit of bushwhacking, shimmying down scrambles, or snack breaks sitting on sharp rocks. Multiple pockets store your valuables while you're on the go, and a gusseted crotch enhances your ability to run, leap, and lunge.

Outdoor Research proprietary Astroman Fabric is a catch-all for the adventurer who spends extended time in sun-baked environments. Astroman products exceed our highest rating of UPF 50+ sun protection for long days on snow, water, or exposed rock and trail routes. Lightweight, stretchy, and silky-soft, the Astroman is comfortable for all-day wear, while retaining an extreme level of durability for brushes with rock while climbing. Named after the legendary climb in Yosemite Valley, the Astroman was originally built for exposed big wall climbing, but has since been commandeered for hiking, paddling, cycling - even dressing up for an evening out to dinner after the adventure.
