Mountain Hardwear Men’s Right Bank Short

These may be the best all-around adventure shorts we’ve ever worn. The Right Bank from Mountain Hardwear is lightweight, dries quickly after a dip, and is incredibly comfortable. From long plane rides to multi-day minimalist backpacking trips, the Right Bank has been the right pair for our testers thanks to the shorts’ unparalleled versatility.

Tester Comment:  “If you’re looking for one pair of shorts to tackle multiple scenarios, this is it. While I didn’t surf in these shorts, I did everything but. Hike, camp, fish, swim, bike, you name it. Awesome, soft fabric feel that has yet to fray, despite endless use in unforgiving locales.”
