The one trail piece Alyth makes — a lightweight 4-inch hiking short that dries fast, stays fresh on a multi-day trip, and weighs almost nothing in a pack.
Highlights
✓95% nylon / 5% elastane is light and quick-drying — a stream crossing or a rain shower isn't a wet afternoon.
✓An anti-odor finish means a multi-day trip doesn't need a clean pair every morning.
✓Breathable fabric for a climb in full sun with no shade to duck into.
✓A mid-to-high rise sits above the hip bone, which is where a pack hipbelt wants to sit too.
✓A 4-inch inseam keeps the leg free on a steep step-up instead of binding at the thigh.
Alyth's range is almost entirely studio and court, which makes the Quest the outlier — the one pair actually cut for trail. The fabric is the reason: 95% nylon with just enough elastane to move, lighter and faster-drying than the nylon-spandex knits the rest of the range uses, and finished to resist odor on trips where laundry isn't an option. It comes in five colors, from the near-white Cloud Mist to Black, in sizes X-Small through X-Large, and runs true to size. Pair it with the Journey Tee for a full warm-weather day out, or browse the rest of Women's Activewear.
