What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “These are a go-to summer short for movement-heavy days. They’re stretchy, breathable, and comfortable whether you’re hiking, climbing, or traveling. We do recommend sizing up if you’re between sizes, as the fit runs a bit snug compared to older versions.” When summer days call for freedom of movement and all-day comfort, we reach for The North Face Aphrodite Short. Designed with soft herringbone fabric and built-in stretch, these shorts move effortlessly with us whether we’re hiking dusty trails, scrambling up rock, or cruising around town. FlashDry technology helps manage sweat on hot days, while a non-PFC DWR finish sheds light moisture when afternoon clouds roll in. The wide rib-knit waistband delivers a comfortable, stay-put fit without digging in, making these shorts especially nice for long days on the move. Thoughtful pocket placement—including a concealed rear zip pocket—keeps essentials secure without adding bulk. Lightweight, packable, and versatile, the Aphrodite Short is a warm-weather staple we reach for again and again.
