Beat the heat with First Lite Trace Shorts (Conifer)—ultralight KineticGrid™ breathability, HeiQ odor control, 5-pocket utility, and a pack-friendly low-profile belt.
Built for sweltering hunts and summer scouting, the Trace Short pairs porous, quiet KineticGrid™ fabric with HeiQ Pure Odor Control to keep you cool, dry, and scent-conscious. The ultralight build breathes fast, dries even faster, and moves with you on hot range days, creek crossings, and long glassing sessions.
Traditional 5-pocket styling meets hunt-ready function: zippered rear wallet pockets secure essentials, a built-in knife sleeve streamlines access, and the integrated low-profile belt stays comfortable under a pack hip belt. In Conifer, these shorts blend seamlessly with your First Lite kit and everyday wear.
