Quechua Women’s Mountain Hiking Shorts

Our team of hikers designed these lightweight trousers to best suit regular hikers looking for maximum comfort as they go out on their mountain walks.The more black shorts use a dyeing process that consumes less water. In the photos of the black shorts, Aline is 174 cm tall and wears a size 6.

Cut

These shorts have an athletic, fitted cut. The two-way stretch fabric (width and length) maintains perfect freedom of movement. Mid-thigh length.

MOISTURE TRANSFER TEST

The capacity of the fabric to wick away perspiration and dry quickly is measured according to several criteria: absorption capacity of the fabric, capacity of the fabric not to saturate with perspiration, speed of drying, etc.
Level 1/5 is suitable for low-intensity activities or activities that don’t generate a lot of perspiration. All our hiking shorts have a performance of 3/5.

OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THIS PRODUCT

Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. We opted for a bulk dyeing method for the black colour model. This method incorporates the dye pigments from the yarn manufacturing process onwards, and consumes less water.
The black MH500 shorts use this new dyeing process, which we want to replicate with other colours in the near future.
