Why use a press-stud instead of button?
Generally nice shorts as you'd expect. Comfy, good material etc. Except.... why on earth use a press stud instead of a button on men's shorts? It means, at least for me, when using the WC, more often than not, the press-stud comes undone when unzipping the fly. That part of the design was poorly thought through for such expensive shorts.
Essential
Out of all the shorts on their line, these are the ones that have really stuck with me. I routeset/climb daily and these have never failed me but I would say the thighs are a bit tight at times, it isn’t the end of the world but if you have hefty thighs I’d definitely try them at a store if you can before you snag em. Durable, breathable, and they fit really well. Definitely worth it if you’re thinking about them!
Nice pair of shorts
3rd pair of these; Still the perfect fit for me (34). Needed multiple pairs of shorts of a upcoming trip this summer and the every day wear at home for summer. Nice fit, cleans easily and looks good and comfy when active or just dressed casual ! will by again.
Kragg shorts
I use it for climbing and biking. It’s rugged yet comfy. Although I would prefer a button closure as on previous Arc’teryx shorts as oppose to a snap button closure. The former is more secure for active pursuits like climbing.
Nothing not to like. Best short for every occasion
Just received these in Solitude, definitely my favourite shorts now. Fantastic material, soft to the touch, so amazingly comfortable. Great length, I’m 6ft tall & the size 34 are a perfect fit. Just need more Colours please.
Comfortable
The fit is nice and the material is stretchy enough to climb but stiff enough to feel almost Jean shorts-ish. Only complaint is I wish the front pockets were a tiny bit deeper.
Great do everything short
Great fit. True to size. First day in them included a dog walk, casual lunch meeting and boulder gym session. Worker great for all three. Will be getting additional colors.
New Shorts
Good length for minimizing sunscreen. Comfortable material without feeling like I am going to tear them at any moment. Look forward to having them for a while.
New go to shorts
These have become my new go to short. Perfect length for someone taller. Ordered the other two colours. Would love to see them in grey.
Shorts
Great pair of shorts; can be worn dressed or for sports activites! Breathability and durability from lengendary Arc'teryx !
