Versatile, Adventure-Ready Comfort from Town to Trail

The The North Face Women’s Aphrodite Arise 5" Short is engineered to go far beyond day-to-day wear, offering the ultimate blend of active performance and casual, laid-back style. Purpose-built for hiking, global travel, and active warm-weather pursuits, these shorts feature a lightweight, durable stretch-woven blend of 93% recycled nylon and 7% elastane. This material naturally forms to your body and provides four-way stretch, offering a highly flexible fit that moves fluidly with your stride whether you are navigating steep switchbacks or running weekend errands.

Equipped to handle changing mountain environments, the Aphrodite Arise shorts are enhanced with FlashDry-XD™ technology, which rapidly pulls sweat away from the skin to accelerate drying times and keep you cool. A durable water-repellent (DWR) finish helps shed light rain showers and resists stains, while integrated odor-reducing technology ensures long-lasting trail freshness. The ultra-comfortable, rib-knit waistband features an adjustable external drawcord for a secure, customizable fit, and the design is finished with deep slash hand pockets—complete with a hidden zippered pocket tucked inside the right side for securing valuables.
