Women's 7ft Quick Dry Golf Hiking Shorts - Water Resistant

Our review of the Women's 7' Quick Dry Golf Hiking Shorts finds a practical, everyday athletic short that balances sun protection, quick-dry performance, and secure pockets for active days. Built from a nylon elastane blend with a DWR finish and a UPF 50+ rating, these shorts are aimed at golfers, hikers, and travelers who want lightweight, breathable coverage with room for keys and cards. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of moisture-wicking fabric and multiple secure pockets that keep essentials in place during long walks or rounds.

Key Features

• Quick-dry nylon spandex: The fabric breathes and dries rapidly after sweat or light rain, keeping you comfortable on warm days.
• DWR water resistance: A durable water repellent finish sheds light rain and splashes so you stay drier during unexpected showers.
• UPF 50+ sun protection: The material helps guard against sunburn for long hours outdoors, useful for golf and hiking.
• Five-pocket layout: Two hand pockets, two drop-in back pockets and zippered pockets secure small items like keys and cash while moving.
• Regular fit with snap closure: A center-front snap and zip fly deliver a tidy, reliable fit; consider sizing up for a more relaxed feel.
• Stretch for movement: Elastane content provides enough stretch for swinging a club, scrambling on a trail, or walking comfortably.

Who It's For

These shorts suit active women who need lightweight shorts for hiking, golf, travel, boating or everyday warm-weather wear. The UPF 50+ and quick-dry fabric make them especially practical for outdoor days when sun exposure and perspiration are concerns.

Shoppers seeking a fashion-fit or a very loose, lounge-style short should look elsewhere; this model has a regular athletic cut and some customers find the sizing varies by body type, so consult the brand size chart and consider sizing up for a roomier fit.
