Whether you're pushing the pace on local trails or tackling big ascents on epic runs, the Second Light Short will keep you moving light and fast. Updated for peak performance with a smaller environmental footprint, the new ultra-lightweight reMeridian™ stretch mini-ripstop fabric is now made with 100% recycled nylon and a new, weather-shedding PFAS-free DWR finish. We kept the waistband at a comfortable 2 inches wide with a brushed interior, and incorporated a new interior infinity drawcord to adjust your fit to perfection. These fast-drying shorts have a cool, comfortable interior mesh brief, and you can slip small essentials into the new zippered security pocket added below the back waistband.
reMeridian™ is a 20 denier mini-ripstop nylon with mechanical stretch constructed with 100% recycled nylon yarns. This ultralightweight fabric provides excellent wind resistance, and the PFAS-free DWR finish provides quick-dry properties that will shed light rain.
As caretakers of the mountain life, we recognize our responsibility to support organizations and people who share our vision to drive positive change for people and the planet. We’re proud to partner with some tremendous organizations in their missions to responsibly advance outdoor recreation and protect our wild surroundings.
We are committed to building garments that are durable, timeless and continue to perform season after season. Over 50% of our product line incorporates preferred materials, which include organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down. We are committed to growing our preferred materials usage to 75% by 2025 and to completely eliminating PFAS from our garments by 2025.
Our apparel is built to last. As a part of our efforts to reduce waste and keep more gear in the mountains where it belongs, our home-grown gear renewal program allows previously-used items to be traded in, cleaned, repaired and circulated back into use.
