    Everything you need in a pair of stubbies: grunty, tough and comfortable. The Dobson's are a traditional-shaped, elastic-waist stubbie, with big zippered pockets to keep your junk from getting lost somewhere up that ridgeline out the back.

    The Desolve® camouflage colourway utilises a 240gsm brushed Tricot polyester knit fabric which is light, quiet, durable and dries quickly.
    The casual colourways use a 97% cotton, 3% spandex blend to give them ruggedness with a good amount of stretch.

    Key Features:

    • Desolve® camo - Brushed tricot polyester knit fabric
    • Casual colourways - 97% cotton, 3% spandex blend
    • Quiet, durable, fast-drying
    • Big zippered pockets
    • Elastic waistband & drawstring
    • FIT: Runs small - we recommend getting a size larger than your normal size.

    Measure Up

    Lay your favourite shorts flat on a solid, even surface. Measure the full waist across the top of the waistband, and the inseam from the crotch to the bottom of the leg. Compare these measurements to the size chart to find your best fit.

     

    Measurement chart for shorts showing full waist (stretched) and full waist (relaxed), with inseam labeled.

    These are the measurements of the garment, not the person wearing the garment. Please note measurements can vary within 1cm. This is within our tolerance.

      Short camo shorts good for hiking

      Shorts are pretty good. Good fit, comfortable, well made, and camo looks good. Waist size can be adjusted with cord. The zip pockets are great to hold your phone, wallet and keys safely while climbing rough tracks.
