Great shorts, but second to Gamma Quick!
a day ago
I found Gamma Quick-Dry shorts last year, but inventory disappeared quickly. I am waiting for new Quick-Dry shorts to reappear, so I took a shot at Gamma SL (Super Light).
For me, the 32”W Quick-Dry shorts was a perfect fit (slim fit). I loved the five zippered pocket design. I must admit, I use only the front four pockets and never have used the back zippered pocket.
Based on my experience above, I purchased 32”W Gamma SL (Super Light) shorts. First observation is the 32”W (normal or standard fit) is closer to a 33-34”W, but the built in belt accommodated perfectly. For my second purchase I tried a 30”W SL shorts, but they were just a hair too tight. I have since ordered several more pair of 32”W Gamma SL shorts. My point is these are great shorts, but the QD is better for my build and desire for an additional fourth front pocket. If I did not have the experience with the Quick Dry shorts, the Super Light shorts would be my favorite. They truly are a great pair of shorts.
For reference, the Super Light shorts are lighter, due to reduced materials for two additional pocket in the QD’s. One hidden gem with the SL shorts is that they will still fit in 10-15 years because of the room-to-grow feature.

Improved design.

I bought these because I have a pair of Gamma Lightweight shorts, which I like. These are even better, with the same comfortable lightweight feel and a slightly more durable feel. I really like the added security of the integral belt. Well constructed. I’d buy additional pairs when I need some.

Geklebte Nähte lösen sich auf!
14 days ago
Habe die Hose im Oktoer 2023 gekauft. Leider sind die "Nähte" der Taschen nur geklebt und lösen sich jetzt auf, so dass alles aus den Taschen fällt.

Nice Features - Questionable Construction
17 days ago
First purchase of an Arcteryx product. Was looking for a quick dry abrasion resistant pair of shorts for hiking. Liked the features of these shorts with 5 zippered pockets to retain personal items, adjustable waist belt and the 9 inch inseam. Price was very high but the brand has a reputation of high quality technical gear so I though I would give them a try. Overall they have performed reasonably well until recently when I was getting ready to go on a hike. Put my personal identification in the lower left pocket was collecting water and towels for the hike when suddenly my personal items were all over the floor. Upon inspection the lower left pocket seam had failed becasue they are not sewn in but attached we seam tape. From a construction perspective I find this unacceptable for a technical pair of shorts in this price range. To those of you who have a pair of these or considering them make sure to inspect your pocket seams regularly or you may be missing a dirvers license or keys somewhere on the trail. To Arcteryx I would suggest you re-think how the lower pockets are attached to the main fabric to deliver a reliable and high qulity techincal product worthy of the price being charged.

Short parfait pour les Rando
a month ago
Short parfait. Il laisse une très grande amplitude de mouvement, ce qui est génial avec un gros D+. De plus il évacue très bien la transpiration.
Les différentes poches sont très pratiques.
La ceinture se règle aisément et est précisément.
Je l’ai en bleu et noir, je suis très satisfait.
De plus il est résistant, je l’ai utilisé en trek dans les Vosges et

Great shorts, but could use a shorter version.
a month ago
Good: The fit, quality of the fabric, wash and wear. Really good for travel.
Not so good: For those of us who are vertically challenged, a shorter version would fit better in terms of not being below my knees and requiring shorting the length by a few inches. A 5-inch version would be nice to have.

comfortable, breathable, technical details

After a long time, finally shorts that fit exactly. They are comfortable, incredibly technical and well thought out. The zippered pocket is always so as not to get in the way when sitting or handling. Pleasant and comfortable
