The North Face Paramount Active Shorts are one slick pair of shorts that you can spend a whole summer in. These clean cut shorts look good enough to wear around town after hitting the mountain. They have a breathable, stretchy build and the athletic cut of a pair of trail shorts. Plus, they have an odor- and stain-resistant coating to help them transition smoothly from mornings on the trail to evenings on the ale. It's a little known fact that DWR works almost as well against errand drops of sauce as it does against sudden downpours of rain.
