DEVOROPA Women's Hiking Bermuda Shorts, Knee-Length, Quick-Dry with UPF 50+

Some outdoor plans call for more coverage than standard athletic shorts, while still leaving room to move. DEVOROPA’s women’s hiking shorts are cut to knee length for that middle ground.

The lightweight fabric is described as breathable, quick-drying, water-resistant, and rated UPF 50+. A drawstring waistband lets you adjust the fit, and the design includes three pockets.

They’re intended for activities ranging from hiking and camping to workouts, biking, and everyday wear. Buyer feedback often highlights the length, light feel, and drying time, although sizing experiences are mixed.

Who it’s for

These shorts may suit someone who wants below-the-knee coverage for a trail walk, campsite chores, or a casual day outside without choosing full-length pants. The drawstring gives you a way to adjust the waist, while the lightweight material is geared toward active use. You’ll appreciate it if a longer short and easy-to-carry essentials matter more than a close-fitting, minimal design.

The listed uses also include running, fishing, climbing, and travel, so the cut is meant to work across different outdoor routines. That range is a stated use case, not a guarantee that the shorts will meet every activity’s specific demands.

Why it’s worth it

The appeal is the combination of coverage and practical details: quick-drying fabric, a water-resistant finish, UPF 50+ fabric, and pockets in a knee-length style. For a hike or walk where you want to keep keys or a card close, the three-pocket layout can be more useful than a basic short with no storage. The product name specifies zipper pockets, one buyer also says a pocket accommodated a phone, though that account doesn’t establish fit for every phone size.

Customer comments commonly praise the lightweight feel, length, and quick-drying properties. Some also like the pocket layout. These are individual impressions rather than a promise of a particular fit or performance. Water-resistant is the stated protection, the product is not described as waterproof.

Key points

The adjustable drawstring can help fine-tune the waist during movement. Two side pockets and one thigh pocket provide places for small items, and the fabric’s quick-dry claim may be useful when activity or warm weather makes damp clothing inconvenient. The UPF 50+ rating is a fabric feature for sun protection, but it does not replace other sun-care measures.

Sizing feedback is not consistent: some buyers say the shorts fit as expected, while others report that they run small or large. The manufacturer recommends using the size chart, so compare your measurements with it before choosing. Not the best choice if you need a reliably predictable fit without checking sizing guidance.

Questions before you buy

Are these shorts waterproof? They’re described as water-resistant, not waterproof, so don’t treat them as rain pants.

How many pockets are included? There are three: two side pockets and one thigh pocket. The product name refers to zipper pockets, but pocket capacity can vary by the item you plan to carry.

What should I know about sizing? Buyer feedback is mixed, with reports of true-to-size fits as well as smaller or larger fits. Use the manufacturer’s size chart to select a size.

Should you buy it?

Choose these if you want women’s outdoor shorts with knee-length coverage, an adjustable waist, quick-dry fabric, and storage for small essentials. They make more sense for walks, hikes, and casual outdoor activities than for anyone who specifically needs waterproof protection. If fit is your deciding factor, the conflicting sizing feedback makes the size chart an important part of the purchase decision.
