When the trail turns steep and the weather turns sketchy, the Arc'teryx Gamma SL 9'' Short delivers the lightweight protection and unrestricted mobility that serious hikers and climbers demand. Built with recycled Fortius™ 1.0 double-weave fabric and a PFAS-free DWR finish, these technical hiking shorts shed light rain and wind while maintaining exceptional breathability during hard efforts on exposed terrain. The articulated patterning and gusseted crotch ensure you'll never feel restricted whether you're scrambling over boulders or clipping into your harness, while the harness-compatible thigh pocket keeps essentials secure and accessible when you're roped up. At just 125gsm, they're Arc'teryx's lightest weather-ready short, proving that you don't need to choose between protection and performance when the mountains call.
