Berghaus says: 

Shorts that take it all in stride. Sure you can walk, hike or run in them, but you can also strut around wearing the
Hike-air Stretch Short. They’ve got the right amount of stretch and an integrated belt for a custom fit. They’re
also water-repellent with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) coating. And the two zip hand pockets
and mesh thigh pockets add up to mega convenience

Our Verdict

The Berghaus Hike-Air Stretch Shorts are an excellent versatile option for hiking, running, or casual wear. With 5% elastane content, these shorts provide excellent stretchy mobility, perfect for activities like hiking. The gusseted inseam allows for extra freedom of movement as well. Comfort is enhanced by the brushed inner waistband, which is soft against the skin.

These shorts come loaded with convenient features ideal for the trail. Zip hand pockets and mesh thigh pockets provide secure storage for essentials. An integrated 25mm belt allows you to adjust for a customised fit. 

What sets these shorts apart is their water-resistant capabilities. A DWR (durable water repellent) coating sheds light rain and moisture. Notably, the DWR uses PFC-free chemistry, which is better for the environment than earlier treatments
