Introducing: Short Sleeve Pants Posted by Roark on April 02, 2023 Roark's Newest Innovation is Here Photo: Dylan Gordon Just like pants, only shorter We noticed that around the same time each year, the weather got warmer. Our team scoured the internet to understand the reasons why this pattern continues to happen. Through countless hours of research and consulting various reliable world-renowned scientists, the answer seemed to be consistent: Summer. The closer we got to the summer season, the warmer the temperatures. It was a groundbreaking discovery. These warmer temperatures made pants increasingly more uncomfortable so naturally, we needed a solution to avoid overheating. The design team came back to us with the idea: "Pants, but shorter." This stroke of genius led to our latest apparel breath-through, we call: Shorts. These shorts are like pants, only shorter. The material does not go past your knees so they allow for more breathability and extra mobility. Take a peek at some of the newest shorts in our collection.

One thing all shorts share are various lengths. Here's a quick guide so you can choose the best length for your needs. 17" Outseam: Our shortest offering. These shorts sit well above the knee to let the thighs breath a little. 18" Outseam: The middle of the road. If you're looking for a pair that sit slightly above the knee, with more thigh coverage than the 17" 19" Outseam: Not too long, not too short either. The 19" length sits right above the kneecap Photo: Dylan Gordon The Walkshort These shorts were built for everyday adventures near and far. Walkshorts come in various lengths and materials depending on what you're comfortable with. We suggest to first ask yourself what length you're looking for, then you can figure out what features and materials are appropriate for you. Check out some of our 17", 18" & 19" styles below.
