A true technical short designed for warm-weather climbing and hiking, mirroring Arc'teryx's functional outdoor shorts line. The shell uses a durable nylon blend (TTex-type abrasion-resistant weave) combined with sun-protective, quick-dry face panels for maximum versatility across different trail conditions. A metal waist adjuster clip keeps the silhouette clean without belt loops cluttering the look, while a brushed polyester inner waistband wicks moisture and sits comfortably against skin even when worn for hours. The crotch gusset panel and articulated seam layout give unrestricted freedom for high steps on the wall or steep switchbacks. No coating on the face fabric means a soft, natural hand feel. Front zip pockets complete the functional package. Colours: Black, Bean Green, Navy. Full size guide in listing images.

Arc'teryx technical softshell construction on these climbing shorts is impressive. The articulated knees give great freedom on the wall.
Wore these bouldering and the softshell fabric grips well and stretches in all directions. The fit through the hip and thigh is dialed in.
These are technical climbing shorts done right. The waistband sits perfectly and the fabric is durable but flexible. One of my favorite purchases.
The softshell material is noticeably stiffer than regular shorts but in a good way - gives structure for movement. Sizing ran true for me.
Q: Are these suitable for indoor bouldering or mainly outdoor climbing?
A: They work well for both. The articulated patterning and stretch gusset make them versatile for gym or outdoor climbing.
Q: How do the softshell shorts perform in cooler outdoor conditions?
A: The softshell fabric provides light wind resistance and retains some warmth, making them good for cool morning climbs.
Q: Do the shorts have belt loops or just an elastic waist?
A: They have a combination of an elastic waistband and belt loops, giving you the option to use a harness-compatible belt.
