Arc'teryx's approach to warm-weather technical shorts is visible across every element of this piece. The shell is a lightweight, uncoated nylon blend with no finish layer to trap heat, relying instead on the fabric's inherent breathability and a DWR surface treatment for moisture management. Four-way stretch is woven directly into the nylon-mix structure, so movement is unimpeded through the full range of hip and leg articulation. The anatomical cut uses panel splicing and a hip-triangle gusset to map the short to actual body geometry rather than a simple flat pattern. A metal waist adjuster provides micro-adjustment without a belt, and the integrated waistband feels stable during activity. Front zip pockets secure essentials. The overall silhouette is clean and uncluttered, appropriate for urban commuting or technical climbing alike. Available in black, bean green, and navy blue, sizes M through 3XL.

Arc'teryx cargo shorts that are genuinely lightweight -- the stretch nylon doesn't feel stiff like typical cargo shorts. Cargo pocket zip sits flush and doesn't bulge.
Perfect length on these -- mid-thigh, not too long, not too short. The stretch fabric makes them comfortable for hiking and for sitting at a cafe after. Very versatile.
Four-way stretch is noticeable on the first wear. The cargo pockets are sized right -- big enough for a phone and keys without flapping around. Good rep overall.
Q: Are the cargo pockets zippered and are they large enough for a phone?
A: Yes, the cargo pockets zip closed and are sized to fit a standard smartphone comfortably alongside small items like keys or cards.
Q: What is the inseam length and how do they fit in the thigh?
A: Inseam is approximately 8-9 inches depending on size. The fit through the thigh is relaxed enough for active movement without being baggy.
Q: Are these shorts suitable for water activities like kayaking or swimming?
A: The nylon fabric dries quickly so they are fine for water activities. They are not lined for swimming, but as a multi-use outdoor short they work well near water.
