Snow Peak gear tends to go one of two ways. Either it’s ingeniously engineered to within an inch of its life, or it’s gloriously minimalist. These everyday shorts are in the latter category, featuring an elasticated waist and relaxed silhouette that just works in pretty much any situation. They’re made in stretch nylon with a tactile feel and low sheen – so they look more like cotton than synthetic fabric. They’re water-repellent, breathable and versatile enough to use for everything from running and hiking to festivals and pottering around town. If we were packing for a round-the-world trip, these fellas would definitely earn a spot in our pack.

Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
