What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I use these all summer because they breathe well and never feel restrictive. The stretch cotton handles high steps easily, and the waistband stays comfortable under a harness. They're simple, but honestly they're everything I want in a climbing short."We pull on the Crag Climbing Short when the day's plan revolves around warm rock, long problems, and easy movement. Mammut builds this short with soft, stretchy organic cotton that keeps us cool and comfortable while still offering the durability needed for brushing against holds and edging into textured stone. The climbing-specific pre-shaped cut gives us the mobility we need to move through overhangs, high steps, and delicate foot placements. Between attempts, the elastic waistband with a drawstring keeps everything secure and harness-friendly, while two front pockets plus a seat pocket offer space for small essentials. The gusseted crotch supports the kind of full-range movement we rely on in the heat. With a light feel and focused climbing functionality, the Crag Climbing Short keeps us ready for long sessions on the wall.
