About the original
The North Face Class V Pathfinder Belted Short is a nylon hiking short with an integrated adjustable webbing belt, a water-repellent finish, and cargo and hand pockets. The North Face was founded in San Francisco in 1966 by Douglas and Susie Tompkins, and the Class V line is its long-running quick-drying water short built for hiking and paddling. Supreme's Spring/Summer 2022 Trekking Packable Belted Short keeps the same integrated-belt design in a nylon shell that folds into its own pocket, with co-branded labels at the hem. Supreme retailed it at $118; the Class V Pathfinder Belted Short lists at $65.
