Why We Like The Topo Designs River Short
From water cascades to glassy lakes, the Topo Designs River Short thrives in nature's wetter environments. The treated fibers brush off mist and dry off quick if we get soaked, while the integrated belt ensures a stay-put fit throughout all our adventures. Designed with a high-rise waist, split hem, and 2-way stretch, this short functions well with a harness for waterfall rappels and lets us move freely on rock scrambles and in paddleboard yoga.
