Multiple product flaws

3 days ago
Stains unbelievably easy. Within the first day, I had a stain that would not come out. There is a flaw with this fabric, all my other shorts of competing brands do NOT stain this easily. Also, the internal belt gets turned around on itself and is quite uncomfortable until you straighten it out. The equivalent of fishing through the pull cord on a cheap sweatshirt.. All around, a poor product. This may be a good product for beathability, but it fails when it looks awful because of multiple stains. Have a word with your designers. Do better.

Nice fit

18 days ago
I have a few pair of these, I like the fit and they are quite comfortable. Like the longer length as I’m on the tall side. I wish they’d offer more colors.

Great shorts, right length, little bit too large! Belt could be better!

Favorite shorts

a month ago
Extremely comfortable, nice fabric, and excellent fit. I had the opposite experience as another reviewer—I got a significant oil stain on the shorts the first day I wore them, but I treated it with dish soap and washed and now you can’t even tell there was ever a stain. Great fabric, and great shorts all around!

Hi Vic. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Gamma SL Short 11". We’re sorry to hear about the staining issue. While the fabric is chosen for its lightweight durability and performance, it’s true that certain oils or dyes can be stubborn to remove. Stains aren’t covered under the Arc'teryx Limited Warranty, but we understand how frustrating this can be—your feedback will be passed along to our team as we continue to evolve our designs.

Light material

2 months ago
In June 2025, I purchased shorts for cycling and hiking. The shorts already have a tear in them, and I didn't do anything rough! The light material is definitely more suited for restaurant dining and city walking.

No, I do not recommend this product.
