Favorite Climbing Shorts
|
What kind of shorts do ya'll like to climbin? I want something form fitting and stretchy with a decent amount of durability! Thanks in advance! |
|
Khaki/cargo shorts (aka korts). Who cares about style when you have pockets for food or whatever? Er, not exactly form fitting or form flattering though. |
|
I guess i should be more specific. I'm looking for something to sport climb in, so pockets are not necessary. I just want something that moves well. |
|
Lululemon |
|
Best sport shorts i own I found on accident at walmart, Ben Hogan golf shorts. Fit slim and have a good amount of stretch. They breath well too and are like $12 a pair. |
|
Prana Mojo. Find them on sale and pay like $20. |
|
Mountain Headwear Chockstone. Super stretchy, like 14% elastane |
|
I’ve been pretty happy with my Gramicci G-Shorts. Not the cheapest, but they are comfy, durable, and I like how they look |
|
OR Ferrosi. |

You want "form-fitting"? Like Lycra? |

|
Adidas knee high or shorts tights cheap and work great for sport / okay on some trad depending on what your doing that day no offwidth or chimney action for these. Super comfortable |
|
I like board shorts. They move well, light weight, no or few pockets, and lots of styles. |
|
Patagonia baggies |
|
A pair of "military-surplus" shorts that I got close to 20 years ago and have endured 7 years as my main climbing apparel. They cover the knees, have cargo pockets, don't interfere in any movement, and have been ridiculously durable compared to everything else. They also work well in a wide temperature range for some reason. Unfortunately they're almost to the end of their life and I haven't found anything close to replace them. |
|
+1 for baggies. |

This is what I wear: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Russell-Men-s-Woven-Tech-Short/132884286 (this link says out of stock.. but Walmart usually carries a comparable, even if slightly different, pair in store) |
|
Grammicci makes a pair with a stretchy quick drying material and they are comfy and sexy as hell |
|
E9 Planet Rondo Shorts, Moon Climbing Cypher Shorts, and La Sportiva Levanto Shorts. Basically whatever is on sale at the online stores. |
