DESCRIPTION

One Pair. Every Adventure. Zero Compromises.

Meet the Magellan Explorer Shorts: made from our rugged Llamaxplorer™ fabric (recycled poly/cotton/spandex) with DWR quick-dry protection, these shorts are ready for beach hikes, rooftop cocktails, golf outings or globe-trotting adventures. With a clean 8.5″ inseam, belt‑loop waistband, hideaway drawcord, laser‑vented gusset + rear yoke (airflow where it matters), and zip‑secure side and wallet pockets, they combine smart function with a West‑Coast polished look. 


Key Features & Benefits

  • Llamaxplorer™ Trifecta Fabric (Recycled Poly + Cotton + Spandex): Soft to the touch, rugged enough for outdoor excursions, and treated with DWR for quick-drying performance.

  • Laser-Vented Gusset & Rear Yoke: Strategically placed vents disperse heat—keeping you cool no matter the climb.

  • Secure Storage: Double rear pockets include a hidden zip pocket; plus, a passport-sized side seam zip pocket keeps your essentials locked in place.

  • Comfortable, Adjustable Fit: Belt loop waistband with a sleek hideaway drawstring ensures security without bulk, while belt loops give you flexibility to dress this up or down. Golf Friendly!

  • Everyday Length & Modern Silhouette: A balanced 8.5” inseam and 19” outseam (size 33) hit just above the knee—smart enough for golf, rugged enough for backcountry.

    Like The Color

    I have the same shorts in the dark grey. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is this blue pair is the same size 36 but a little more snug. Tried both on one after the other and the grey pair is definitely more comfortable. So, slightly disappointing that the same shorts, only a different color, aren't consistent.

    Amazing shorts

    Bought these as gift for my boyfriend, who is particular about his clothes. He really likes them! Color, fit, fabric. He is losing weight currently so might order a smaller waist size of same short.

FAQ

How do the Magellan Explorer Shorts fit compared to other shorts, especially around the waist and thigh?
The Magellan Explorer Shorts have a modern, tailored fit with an 8.5" inseam hitting just above the knee. Some customers find the sizing slightly snug compared to other colors or brands, especially around the waist and thigh. They include a belt-loop waistband plus a hideaway drawcord for adjustable comfort. If you are between sizes or have a preference for looser fit, considering one size up or down based on your measurements is recommended.
Will these shorts hold up well on rugged outdoor adventures and frequent wear?
Yes, these shorts are made from Llamaxplorer™ fabric, a durable blend of recycled polyester, cotton, and spandex with DWR quick-dry treatment. This combination offers ruggedness for outdoor activities and flexibility for comfort. The reinforced gusset and rear yoke vents also enhance breathability and durability. With proper care, they maintain their look and performance through extended use, offering solid long-term value.
Can I wear these shorts for both casual outings and more active or sporty occasions like golf?
Absolutely. The Magellan Explorer Shorts balance a modern, polished look with functional features like a laser-vented gusset and zip-secure pockets. The adjustable waistband and clean silhouette make them versatile enough for casual wear, golf, rooftop cocktails, or light hiking. They are designed to transition easily from active to social settings without compromising style or comfort.
What are the care instructions to maintain the shorts’ quick-dry and durability features?
Machine wash the shorts cold inside out with like colors to preserve fabric integrity and DWR coating. Use a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners as they can degrade performance. Following these steps helps keep the shorts quick-drying, comfortable, and looking sharp for a long time.
Are there any pockets or features to keep my valuables safe while traveling or hiking?
Yes, the shorts include double rear pockets, one with a hidden zip closure, plus a passport-sized side seam zip pocket. These secure storage options ensure your essentials like wallet, keys, and passport stay locked in place during active use. It’s perfect for travel or outdoor adventures where security matters.
What is the fabric made of, and is it safe for sensitive skin?
The fabric is a blend of recycled polyester, cotton, and spandex called Llamaxplorer™. It is soft to the touch and designed for rugged outdoor use. The DWR treatment is a durable water repellent finish but typically does not cause irritation. If you have very sensitive skin, testing with a small patch before extended wear is advisable. The fabric blend balances comfort and performance for most skin types.
