The world's greatest statues aren't statues at all, and as you clamber around the rocks and spires wearing the tough Marmot Arches Short, you're sure thankful you can witness proof of the Earth's true majesty. As you climb, the durable, breathable, and quick-drying Arches Tee enables your aggressive exploring, and when you decide to snooze on the bedrock, the UPF-50-rated fabric prevents sun-burned thighs.

  • Gusseted crotch for increased mobility during your bouldering and scrambling around the sculpted rock anomalies
  • Soft tricot lining on inner waistband adds comfort for extended belays and backpacking trips
  • Zippered thigh pockets hold small items within reach even when you're wearing a climbing harness or pack with a waist belt

Bottom Line: When sun and rocks are your bread and butter.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Solid Shorts

Quality short with solid material, good cut and length. I am a 33 to 34 inch waist and found the 34 inch a wee bit snug. I picked up a pair of Patagonia Rock-Guide Shorts instead. Marmot is producing some great gear these days!

Perfect any occasion. This short wears slightly smaller than the Cruz shorts.
