Rugged durability meets a refined, comfortable fit
The Patagonia Women’s Quandary Shorts are built for the multi-sport enthusiast who needs reliable performance on the move. These versatile 7-inch shorts are crafted from a lightweight, stretchy blend of recycled nylon and spandex, offering freedom of movement for steep scrambles and long hikes. Featuring a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and built-in sun protection, they shed moisture and shield you from the elements throughout the day. With a classic four-pocket design and a secure, comfortable waistband, these Fair Trade Certified™ shorts are as practical for the backcountry as they are for the local brewery.
