Great for humid summer conditions, Patagonia's Nylon Stand Up Shorts offer the same durability found in their popular cotton Stand Up Shorts, but these shorts have a nylon canvas fabric that dries far faster than the other stuff. Patagonia's Nylon Stand Up Shorts are great for backcountry adventures, especially if you're rafting, padding or fly-fishing. The 8-inch inseam is longer than the organic cotton Stand Up Shorts, which tends to appeal to guys who want a little more coverage while bushwhacking through the wilderness.
