Eddie Bauer Men's Rainier Shorts – Black, Size 42 | 2-Way Stretch, Water-Repellent Hiking Shorts

Overview

Designed for outdoor days that demand mobility and durability, Eddie Bauer’s Rainier Shorts blend a two-way stretch nylon/spandex weave with a water-repellent finish. The fabric’s 94% nylon and 6% spandex composition offers flexible comfort, so you can move freely whether you’re scrambling a ridge, crossing a stream, or ticking off miles on a long day hike. A lightweight, packable profile means you can slip them into a daypack without adding bulk, while sun-ready coverage comes courtesy of UPF 50+ protection.

On the trail, practical details meet performance. The shorts feature two low-profile zip cargo pockets plus secure front and back pockets for essentials, so you can grab a map, energy gel, or keys without slowing down. The design leverages Flexion Stretch woven technology to maximize mobility, and the StormRepel DWR finish sheds moisture so you stay comfortable when clouds roll in or mist rises off wet rock.

Key benefits

• Two-way stretch with Flexion Tech for smooth, unrestricted movement on rugged terrain.
• StormRepel DWR finish to shed moisture and maintain a dry feel during light rain or splashy segments.
• Polygiene odor-control waistband to help keep things feeling fresher over multi-hour wear.
• FreeShade 50+ UPF sun protection to help guard exposed skin on sunny routes.
• Low-profile cargo pockets plus front and back pockets for secure, convenient storage.
• Lightweight and packable construction, ideal for day hikes or multi-day trips.

Use cases and fit

These shorts are built for hiking, scrambling, and backcountry adventures where mobility and protection matter. The active fit stays close to the body without restricting movement, while the 11-inch inseam (for a size 33) and 21.5-inch leg opening provide a balanced silhouette for varied footwear and layering. They’re designed with endurance in mind, yet quick to care for: machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry low, and cool iron if needed.

In short, Rainier Shorts offer a practical combination of stretch, weather shedding, and sun protection, all wrapped in a streamlined, adventure-ready package. While results may vary by activity, the combination of stretch, moisture management, and pocket organization can support comfortable days on trail or off the grid.
