About Boys' Pants and Shorts
We know kids can be tough on their clothes, which is why our outdoor pants and shorts are built to endure. We have a wide range of pants including hiking pants, styles for school, and even sweatpants for lounging on the weekends. For summer, our shorts are perfect from the trail to the playground. We even offer our Class V collection of quick dry and waterwear for adventures in or around rivers and lakes.
Material Matters: Look for outdoor pants and shorts made from high-quality materials. Common options include nylon, polyester, and cotton blends.
Durability: Reinforced knees and seat areas are essential for pants and shorts that will endure rough and tumble play, climbing, or kneeling on rocky surfaces.
Fit and Comfort: A comfortable fit is crucial for outdoor activities that require agility.
UV Protection: Consider outdoor apparel that offers UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) to shield your child from harmful sun rays during extended outdoor exposure.
Pockets: Multiple pockets can be handy for storing small essentials like snacks, a pocket knife, or a compass, making them a practical choice for outdoor adventures.
Water Resistance: Water-resistant or quick-drying shorts are excellent for activities near water sources. They help keep your child dry and comfortable when splashing in streams or encountering light rain.
Color and Style: Opt for colors that don't easily show stains and dirt. Camouflage prints or earthy tones are often practical choices for outdoor excursions. However, some kids may prefer vibrant or patterned designs to express their personal style.
Ventilation: Look for pants and shorts with mesh-lined vents to help regulate temperature during hot weather activities.
Sizing: Ensure you select the right size for your child. Check our size charts to help you find the perfect fit.
When choosing boys' pants and shorts for the outdoors, keep in mind the specific activities your child will be engaged in and the weather conditions they will encounter. Consider layering their clothing with an all-weather jacket or a kids' fleece.
