Topo Designs innovation meets sustainable performance

Our production team understands that exceptional shorts require more than basic construction—they demand advanced materials and precise engineering. The Mesa Shorts showcase this commitment through carefully selected recycled nylon blend with spandex that offers incredible stretch while maintaining structure. Strategic features like contrast patch pockets with snap drainage and front hand patch pockets provide practical storage that enhances outdoor adventures.

The technical fabric construction delivers performance that traditional materials cannot match. Quick-dry technology pulls moisture away from skin, maintaining comfort during active pursuits. The lightweight yet durable recycled nylon resists wear while providing excellent range of motion for climbing, hiking, and daily activities. Our design team selects the 6-inch inseam length that offers optimal coverage without restricting movement, creating clean proportions that work from trail to town.
