Gifting a pair of high-rise hiking shorts is like giving someone a passport to adventure, wrapped in comfort.

These shorts are especially loved by those who want to feel secure and supported, whether they’re scaling rocky outcrops or stretching out for a lakeside picnic. The high-rise fit is a favorite for its ability to stay put—no tugging or adjusting as you scramble over roots or settle onto a sun-warmed boulder.
