Ich habe die Hosen 40 Tage auf dem Jakobsweg getragen. Bei 38 Grad Celsius bis zum Starken Regen war die Hose super angenehm. Ich würde die Hose auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

my new favorite shorts!
4 days ago
These are my first pair of pants or shorts from Arc’teryx and I absolutely love them! Only wish they were in more colors.
Very comfortable for hiking and trail running, love the angle of the pockets because my phone doesn’t bounce around like other shorts.

Best shorts for any use!

Used these shorts for a week long backpacking trip and was so impressed! They dry super fast, are comfortable, and highly durable! Not only great for adventuring but they are great for daily shorts as well!

Comfy, functional, do not trust zip pockets!
a month ago
Hello everyone,
I have 4 pairs of these shorts, basically my favourite shorts, daily driver since a few years, usually I would give 5/5 review, but I 100% lost trust in them. I love the zipper pockets, you can think they give you trust. Except the bottom ones, they're not stiched! So in one of my pairs they delaminated and have a hole I didn't notice. Lost my stuff, and need to an adventure to find it.
Do not trust these shorts, super comfy and functional, built-in belt, great material. But even with zippers, you cannot trust the pockets. Getting rid of mine.

My take is that they are good shorts. Good for backpacking, travel, and around the house on a hot day in Texas. These hiking shorts have gone down in quality since the last pair that I bought four years ago. However, it seems like just about everything in the retail market has gone Less quality over the last four years. I love the color and the fit. I am disappointed that you got rid of the zip pocket in the back. Please bring that back. And gluing in the front pocket I don’t think was a good idea either. However overall, I am happy with the purchase.

Lett og behagelig, lomme trenger forbedring
a month ago
Utrolig lett og behagelig shorts til hverdags og tur, men kvaliteten på innerlommen trenger forbedring. Det gikk hull i nederste innerlomme etter ett par måneders bruk grunnet dårlig lim, vurder å bruke en søm?
