On the trail, on belay, packing up the drift boat, or taking a well-earned rest day, you deserve a short that matches the pace of your day. Ours is made with ultrastretchy Fortisâ„¢ fabric that has a soft feel and can withstand brush and abrasion, with treatments that enhance wicking and reduce odor. A wide, contoured waistband and higher rise combine for a functional, comfortable fit that stays put. Deep drop-in pockets stash a phone, and a zippered back pocket holds keys or a card securely. Two inseam lengths let you choose your coverage and reflective hits add visibility during dawn or dusk cruises.
Fortisâ„¢, built with stretch interlock technology, is an extremely flexible nylon/spandex fabric. Its sueded finish offers a soft handfeel, while moisture management and an anti-microbial treatment improve comfort and reduce odor during any active pursuit.
As caretakers of the mountain life, we recognize our responsibility to support organizations and people who share our vision to drive positive change for people and the planet. We’re proud to partner with some tremendous organizations in their missions to responsibly advance outdoor recreation and protect our wild surroundings.
We are committed to building garments that are durable, timeless and continue to perform season after season. After years of research, testing and product development, in 2024 we completely removed PFAS from all of our newly developed products. We remain committed to growing our Preferred Materials usage, which includes organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down and wool, to 75% by the end of 2025.
Our apparel is built to last. As a part of our efforts to reduce waste and keep more gear in the mountains where it belongs, our home-grown gear renewal program allows previously-used items to be traded in, cleaned, repaired and circulated back into use.
