What are the Patagonia Women's Multi Trails 5" Shorts?
Built to handle it all, the Women's Multi Trails Shorts from Patagonia are a versatile staple for runners, gym-goers, and adventurers alike. Made from lightweight, moisture-wicking materials with an ergonomic design that moves with your body, they're perfect for high-output activities and everyday wear.
What are they made of?
These shorts are made from 90% recycled polyester, certified by OceanCycle and sourced from coastal communities that are working to fight plastic pollution. The other 10% is elastane, which adds just the right amount of stretch, providing great freedom of movement, whether on the trail or just hanging out.
Ready for Light Rain and Sweat
The fabric is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which means water doesn't soak in; it beads up and rolls right off. It's perfect for shedding light rain, morning dew, or the sweat from a challenging workout. Best of all, Patagonia's DWR is made without added PFAS (perfluorinated chemicals), which are often used in water-resistant gear but can be harmful to people and the planet.
Technical Liner for Comfort and Performance
Inside, these shorts feature an integrated brief liner made from 100% recycled polyester, providing lightweight, next-to-skin comfort with a reduced environmental impact. The liner is engineered to be moisture-wicking, efficiently drawing sweat away from the body to accelerate evaporation and help regulate temperature during high-output activities. The liner is treated with HeiQ Mint odour control technology, which uses bio-based mint oil to inhibit odour-causing bacteria.
Thoughtfully Made, Responsibly Sourced
Produced in a Fair-Trade Certified factory, these shorts support safe working conditions and ensure that the people who made them receive fair compensation for their craftsmanship. They're also approved by BlueSign, which means that every step of the manufacturing process, from materials to dyes to finishes, meets strict environmental and safety standards. This certification ensures minimal impact on people and the environment, using resources responsibly and avoiding harmful chemicals.
What are its features?
The shorts' waistband features a lightweight elastic construction that offers a secure, stay-put fit during movement. An external drawcord allows for precise adjustment, while the moisture-wicking inner surface helps manage sweat to keep you cooler and drier. A locker loop at the back provides convenient hang-drying after intense activity or water-based adventures.
Pocket Storage
The Multi Trails Shorts feature two zippered hand pockets to securely stash small essentials, such as keys, energy gels, or cards. At the back, a snap-closure pocket offers additional storage and doubles as a self-stowing pouch, allowing the shorts to pack down into themselves—ideal for travel or stowing in a pack.
Dialled Fit
With a mid-rise and regular fit, these shorts provide optimal freedom of movement without feeling restrictive or oversized. The cut is designed to support a full range of motion for running, hiking, training and other outdoor adventures.
