The North Face shorts for warm-weather activity

For hiking, running or just a hot day, The North Face shorts keep you cool and comfortable with light, quick-drying fabrics.

Hiking shorts with pockets and stretch

Hiking shorts use durable stretch fabric and useful pockets, with some cut longer for coverage and others cut for a full range of movement on the trail.

Running and training shorts

Running shorts are light and often lined, with a short cut for airflow, while training shorts suit the gym and everyday active wear.

Quick-drying and comfortable

Fast-drying fabrics handle sweat, river crossings and sudden showers, so shorts feel comfortable even on a long, warm day out.

Casual styles for everyday

Relaxed casual shorts round out the range for travel and downtime, with the same easy-wearing comfort in a simpler look.

Frequently asked questions

What length are The North Face shorts?

Length varies by style. Hiking and casual shorts tend to sit around or just above the knee, while running shorts are cut shorter for airflow. The product page lists the inseam so you can check before buying.

Are the running shorts lined?

Many running shorts have a built-in brief or liner for support and comfort, so you can wear them without separate underwear. The product description notes whether a particular pair is lined.

Do The North Face shorts run true to size?

They are generally true to size and many have an adjustable or elasticated waist for a secure fit. If you are between sizes or want a relaxed fit, size up.

Are The North Face shorts quick to dry for water and river crossings?

The hiking and active styles use fast-drying fabrics that handle sweat, sudden showers and shallow river crossings, so they feel comfortable again quickly rather than staying heavy and wet. Casual cotton-blend styles are more for everyday wear and take longer to dry. If you expect to get wet, choose one of the technical quick-drying pairs.
