What this piece does not do

  • No liner. Pair it with a base layer if you want one.
  • Ripstop at this weight is light, not abrasion-proof. It will scuff on rock.
  • We make no antimicrobial, odour-control or medical claim for this garment, and we do not describe it as waterproof.

Every figure on this page is measured under the conditions set out on our performance testing page.

The thinking

The lightest bottom in the catalogue. At 130 gsm the whole short weighs less than most t-shirts.

An integrated webbing belt with a flat buckle means one less thing in the bag and nothing to set off a metal detector.

Dries in about 2 hours hanging, which makes it the piece that comes back from a wash first.

Details

  • Integrated flat-buckle webbing belt
  • 130 gsm ripstop, 20 cm inseam
  • Two zip pockets, two open
  • Dries in about 2 hours under our published conditions
