When Arc'teryx designs climbing shorts, they don't mess around. The Konseal 9" Short delivers everything serious climbers need, whether you're projecting routes at the crag or training hard at the gym. The tri-blend fabric construction combines cotton's natural breathability with nylon's durability and elastane's stretch, creating shorts that move with you through every high step and dynamic reach. The pull-on waistband sits comfortably under your harness without creating pressure points, while the gusseted crotch ensures unrestricted movement when you're stretching for that next hold. With a strategically placed harness-accessible thigh pocket, you can quickly grab chalk or other essentials without fumbling around your gear. These rock climbing shorts prove that when function meets Arc'teryx's legendary build quality, you get gear that performs as hard as you do.
