Feature
Rich

The technical properties and signature feature set for this style are dialed for high versatility and as a multiplier for a wide breadth of activities. From summer trekking in the high Sierra, to exploring the jungles of Vale do Javari, mountain trail running in the Andes, or packrafting Fiordland National Park, the 72 Hour Short is the one pack-and-go style that has got you covered. We never compromise on the feature set, materials and quality of make when producing our apparel.

All Terrain Cloth

Our All Terrain Cloth is the lightest weight technical, performance fabric we make and offer. It is custom milled to our specs, custom dyed, features 4-way stretch, a DWR finish and is quick-dry. Just about every apparel style we make involves custom made materials, parts and trims, created to our exacting specifications. This requires a tremendous amount of work, careful attention to detail and management to ensure everything is made to our satisfaction and held to our high standards. The end result is expertly made, world class apparel with a finer degree of detail and highest quality of make. For some, it's a difference you can feel and see; and most importantly, how well our technical apparel will perform in all terrains and in the toughest of conditions.

Amphibious
Rated

At PDW we design our technical apparel to operate in as many environments and conditions as possible. Our 72 Hour Short is no different. This style is ideal for hot weather and great for adventures in and out of the water. The earth is covered by 71% water. These shorts are amphibious rated and are as versatile and capable as you are.

Made in
the USA

The 72 Hour Short is one of the last technical shorts of its kind to be designed, cut and sewn in the USA. Made in our home state of California, the birthplace of the core outdoor/mountain sports industry. Nope, US labor ain't cheap, but when you're purchasing one of our made in USA goods, you are supporting an American workers' living wage, and what's left of domestic apparel manufacturing in our country. We thank you for your support.

Long Life
Apparel

Long Life Apparel. On average, PDW apparel is designed and made to last a minimum of 5 seasons. Durability, high level function, performance and less waste are integral to PDW's product mission. While actual mileage is highly subjective and based on an individual's use and lifestyle, we strive to build goods to last, beyond the industry's typical life cycle standards, and we do not subscribe to wasteful "fast fashion" or disposable consumerism.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Olivia ★★★★★

Wore these all day on a kayak trip and they didn’t chafe even when wet, plus the fabric dried fast once I was back on shore. The stretchy material also made scrambling over rocks a breeze.

Jason ★★★★★

Took these on a river hike and they dried out completely within minutes of getting out of the water—the amphibious rating is no joke. The stretch fabric let me scramble over rocks without feeling restricted.

Ryan ★★★★★

I accidentally jumped into a lake with my phone in the pocket and everything stayed bone dry—the amphibious fabric is no joke. These shorts breathe well during a hike and dry out in minutes after a rinse.
