The North Face

Rolling Sun Packable Short - Men's

FlashDry is a proprietary technology from The North Face that enhances the moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties of the fabric. It works by rapidly moving sweat away from your skin and allowing it to evaporate quickly. This means you stay dry and comfortable during your outdoor activities, even in hot or humid conditions.

The NF DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is a treatment applied to the fabric that helps it resist water. This means that in light rain or wet conditions, water will bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking into the fabric. This keeps you drier and more comfortable while enjoying your outdoor adventures.

A UPF rating of 50 indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays. This is crucial for protecting your skin during outdoor activities, especially on sunny days. With this level of protection, you can enjoy your time outside with less worry about sunburn or skin damage.

Stretch dobby fabric is a unique material that features a textured weave (dobby) and includes elastic fibers (stretch). This combination allows the fabric to stretch and move with you, providing comfort and flexibility during physical activities. It ensures that your clothing won't restrict your movements, making it ideal for hiking, climbing, or any active pursuit.

Packability refers to how easily a garment can be folded or compressed into a small size for storage or transport. In this case, the shorts can be stuffed into their own zippered stow pocket, making them incredibly convenient to carry on trips or hikes. This means you can save space in your backpack and have lightweight, versatile clothing ready for any adventure.

Absolutely! The combination of features like FlashDry technology, NF DWR coating, and stretch dobby fabric makes these products suitable for both casual outings and active adventures. Whether you're going for a hike, running errands, or enjoying a day at the beach, you can rely on these garments to keep you comfortable and stylish.
