  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Clarence Macalister (verified owner) – April 11, 2025

    The best all round shorts. Tough fabric, super light, quick drying, comfy fit. My go-to shorts for everything.

  2. Rated 5 out of 5

    Clayton – February 18, 2024

    Super comfortable and durable.
    My go to shorts for tramping and general outdoors use.

  3. Rated 5 out of 5

    Kent Murray – September 18, 2023

    I love fast track shorts. They have a smart, functional and durable design. They’re the perfect complement to the shorter taslan shorts for when you want something a little longer in the leg. Will be buying again – not as a replacement, because they’ll probably never die – but to try out some other cool colours.

  4. Rated 5 out of 5

    Justin – June 5, 2021

    These are excellent quality shorts. I couldn’t speak more highly of a product. I wore two pairs of these shorts for ten months and 9000km of hiking. They were the only pants I wore for that entire time and they with stood it all.

  5. Rated 5 out of 5

    A Fiona Campbell (verified owner) – January 27, 2021

    I love the deep pockets in these shorts. Also the adjustable waist. They make for comfortable, practical shorts, I look forward to enjoying them for many years. Thank you, ESS!

    Diane – February 22, 2019

    Lightweight, very comfortable and cool to wear

  7. Rated 4 out of 5

    Tim – August 13, 2018

    Good shorts, have worn constantly for the last 3 months except when washing. Sweet as for kayaking, work, hanging out, rock climbing and running around. However, these are not fire resistant, the zipper has broken and the odd stitch has gone. Ordering a second set to spread the load.

  8. Rated 4 out of 5

    Nathan – December 16, 2017

    These shorts are great. Tough enough to climb in, windproof, water resistant, quick dry, and comfy to wear with a harness and/or pack on. The belt is handy and easy to use, while the pockets are large enough to fit a whole TIME magazine folded in half, and the zip pocket is great for keeping stuff safe. Cool enough, yet wind and rain resistant enough for a Wellington summer.

  9. Rated 4 out of 5

    Jordan – February 20, 2017

    If you’re after something a bit longer than the Taslan shorts, but with the same stout toughness, then the fast-track are for you. Simple but solid belt system and the constant solid ESS construction. They do everything and are very tidy shorts.

Our Story

Earth Sea Sky was formed in December 1990 when David teamed up with clothing designer, Sydney Mulligan. Between them they had more than 25 years experience in New Zealand’s outdoor clothing industry. This experience in design, production and sales was used to fill a growing need in the market for outdoor clothing that combined comfort, style and performance. David and Sydney introduced designs and colours that linked function and performance with great fit, attention to detail and fashion. Their first range of 20 garments included tramping jackets, oilskins, waterproof ski wear, 60/40 anorak windshells and Polartec thermal fleeces.

Since then, most of New Zealand’s outdoor clothing brands have taken their production offshore. Earth Sea Sky is committed to remaining New Zealand made. The Ellis family believes this is vital in maintaining the brand’s consistent quality and uniqueness.
