Hiking Shorts & Skirts

Whether practiced in an amateur or professional setting, hiking is a sporting activity in its own right. Although the altitude makes it possible to cool the air a little, the physical efforts generated by walking increase the internal temperature of the body. To avoid overheating, there are really only two solutions: hydrate properly and wear light clothing that lets the skin breathe well, such as hiking t-shirts . In this context, hiking shorts take on all their importance!

The hiking shorts offered by Decathlon are made from synthetic fabrics that are perfectly suited to hiking. Light and resistant, they are in fact specially designed to promote rapid drying and improve the breathability of the garment, two qualities that cotton, for example, does not have. Elastane, polyamide or polyester shorts will also be perfect if you want optimal freedom of movement. To avoid sunburn, some of our models also offer effective protection against the harmful effects of UV rays.

Good hiking shorts would be nothing without excellent functional qualities. The elastic or semi-elastic waistbands of our models thus offer perfect morphological adaptability. To allow you to have at your disposal the essential equipment for your hike, our shorts have many large pockets, some of which are secured by zip, flap or button. Very practical for easy access to your compass, mobile phone or topographic map! And if the temperature starts to cool down, don't hesitate to opt for one of our modular trekking pants! Solidity, breathability, functionality, freedom of movement: these are the qualities that all our hiking shorts have. Thanks to them, you have the assurance of a successful outdoor walk!
