The North Face Men’s Basin Short – 9-Inch Inseam Outdoor Comfort Fit

The North Face Men’s Basin Short delivers engineered performance for adventurers seeking versatile everyday gear. Designed with a 9-inch inseam that balances coverage and mobility during hikes or urban exploration, these shorts feature TNF’s DryVent™ lightweight fabric—water-resistant yet breathable—to keep you dry whether crossing streams or navigating city streets post-climb.

The “Comfort Fit” design includes an articulated seat contouring to your body’s natural movements and an adjustable drawcord waistband that avoids constriction during long days outdoors. Four-way stretch woven material maintains its shape through rugged use while offering UPF 50+ sun protection—critical for extended exposure on trails or beaches.

Unlike basic cotton or polyester hiking shorts prone to bunching or odor retention after hours of wear, this premium version incorporates FlashDry™ moisture-wicking technology, drying up to 30% faster than standard materials. Strategically placed ventilation zones at the sides enhance airflow during intense activities like trail running or mountain biking.

Ideal as lightweight hiking shorts or travel-ready utility wear, they include two zippered security pockets (front cargo + hidden internal key loop) often missing in competitor designs. Pair effortlessly with your favorite TNF jacket for multi-season layering confidence.

Available exclusively through authorized retailers, this investment-grade short carries The North Face’s “Warranted Forever” program, ensuring long-term durability unmatched by fast-fashion alternatives. Perfect for road-trippers craving durable-yet-stylish casualwear or hikers needing reliable quick-dry performance under 90°F conditions.
