What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I use the 120 Comp Light Shorts for high-output days when every gram and every bit of airflow matters. They feel like a second skin, dry incredibly fast, and never bunch or rub under a harness or pack. For intense alpine missions, they're about as dialed as it gets." We turn to the 120 Comp Light Short when the goal is pure efficiency and top-end performance. Designed by Ortovox for intense alpine activities, these ultralight merino shorts are built to move fast, regulate temperature, and stay comfortable when effort levels are maxed out-whether we're pushing uphill in summer or skinning hard in winter. Seamless circular knitting and merino body-mapping place breathable mesh exactly where heat builds up most, while fine 120 g merino delivers stretch and next-to-skin comfort. The result is a short that's highly elastic, quick drying, and remarkably durable for its weight. With soft 16. 5-micron fibers that regulate moisture and resist odor naturally, the 120 Comp Light Short disappears once it's on-letting us focus entirely on the line ahead and the effort it takes to get there.
