REI’s Anniversary Sale wrapped up on Memorial Day, but there are still lingering markdowns across the site, including some of the most coveted Garmin GPS communicators, Black Diamond headlamps, and even Merrell’s prized hiking boots. But one of the biggest post-sale surprises is on a popular pair of shorts from The North Face that shoppers say are the ideal style for every summer activity, whether that’s hiking, beach days, or bike rides.
Typically $65, The North Face’s 7-Inch Rolling Sun Packable Shorts are still 30% off, dropping the price to $45. The shorts have accrued over 100 five-star ratings from shoppers who say they love them so much they end up buying more pairs. The shorts are available in a range of neutral and eye-catching colors and come in waist sizes 29 to 40. REI notes that they’re a discontinued style, so once they’re sold out, they’ll be sold out for good.

This pair of shorts has a small zippered pocket at the thigh for secure storage, and the compartment also doubles as a pouch to pack the shorts into. There are two hand pockets and two back pockets for additional storage. They have both a drawstring and belt loops, combining comfort with utility, particularly if you’re the keys-on-a-carabiner type. The shorts are made from a blend of polyester with a little elastane for stretch, and they feature the brand’s FlashDry tech. Whether you take them on a sunny trek or a dip in the pool, they’ll dry quickly and wick moisture away.
The shorts are versatile for outdoor adventure or everyday wear, according to a shopper who called them the “perfect casual shorts.” Another wrote that they can “be used for everything,” adding that they “look great for summer nights on the town or at the beach. Also soft enough and comfortable for just relaxing at home.”

Others appreciated the shorts’ packability, with one writing, “I pack them in the back of the cycling jersey and throw ’em on for after-ride beers and such.” Another wrote, “They’re great. I use one pair to play pickleball and two more to hike and workout. Comfortable and cool.”
If you’re looking for a versatile pair to wear all summer, The North Face’s Rolling Sun packable shorts are the one to pick up because of its many pockets, drawstring and belt loop fasteners, and travel-friendly design. Still under $50, they’re a great value buy, but make sure to get your size quickly because some colors are already starting to sell out.
