The North Face Mens Class V Pathfinder BLT Short S LNG Gravel
Overview
The North Face Men's Class V Pathfinder BLT Short in size S (Gravel) is a technical, warm-weather hiking short built for mobility and everyday trail use. It pairs a lightweight, durable woven fabric with a low-profile webbing belt to deliver secure fit and freedom of movement on scrambles, day hikes, and travel days. The design focuses on practical storage and security—zippered hand pockets and a rear pocket keep small essentials in place—while a DWR treatment sheds light moisture and dries quickly after river crossings or sweat-heavy climbs. If you want a versatile, low-bulk short from a trusted outdoor brand for summer trails, travel, or active weekends, the Class V Pathfinder is a straightforward, performance-first option.
