Description
The Patagonia Quandary 10-inch Short is built around the specific demands of a long day on the water or the trail that gets there. The curved waistband with drawcord and belt loops stays put under a wading belt without bunching. The DWR finish skips intentionally added PFAS, and UPF 40+ blocks sun on exposed stretches where shade is scarce.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“The reinforced carabiner and hemostat loop on the thigh keeps tools off the vest and within reach without adding bulk to the waistband. On a full day wading, that one detail changes how the whole kit comes together.”
