A longstanding Yamatomichi favourite, the 5-Pocket Shorts have been around since 2013. Over that time they’ve been honed and refined to become pretty much the perfect pair of hiking shorts. These ones here are the Light visions—and thanks to that Pertex Equilibrium fabric they barely tip the scales at just 100g (for size medium). They’re still big on function though, with that signature five pocket design featuring two easy-access hand pockets, as well as a perfectly placed press-stud phone pocket, a zip wallet pocket and a big ol’ map pocket. There’s a loop for your keys too. These guys have thought of everything.

For waist sizing, here’s what Yamatomichi recommend; S: 26.5” to 31”, M: 29” to 33”, L: 32” to 36”, XL: 35.5” to 37”.
