Arc'teryx Rampart Long Short - Men's

Just bought these shorts a month ago and was initially a little concerned by all the negative criticism they receive for being "too long". I took them out climbing to Wyoming with me and they performed very well. They are particularly lightweight, comfortable, and very durable. For me, the length is perfect. I normally wear knee length cargo shorts and these are right at my knee (150 lbs 6'0 "30). The price tag is a bit much but you get what you pay for. I'll be ordering another pair soon!

My Default, Go To shorts for a couple of years now, just added a couple of new colors to the selection. Love em

I bought another pair of these, different color, why?
Because these are simply great. They are so light and comfortable I've been wearing them as much as possible (exception - when I'm not wearing the fabulous Arcteryx Visio shorts!).

But these shorts are cool, look great, feel great. What? Great!

I was a little concerned that these shorts would be too long for my tastes based on the picture. (Long is good, too long is not. A fine balance, you see.) However, I'm a skinny, 6 foot tall guy with a 30" waist who is moderately concerned about looking good and they hit right around my knees - perfect. While pricey, they're not too baggy, they look good, and they feel like a swimsuit. I'll be wearing these often on a year-long 'round-the-world trip. I ordered the Titanium ones and the color in the photo pictured on this site is an accurate representation of what they actually look like. Overall, a good blend of stylish and functional.

These are great lightweight shorts for summer backpacking. Lightweight, yet durable- these shorts are have a bit of stretch in them and are incredibly quick drying. The double button waist closure is awesome- much more durable then a traditional button closure. They hit me right at the knee... perfect length- not too short at all. I wouldn't want them any shorter or longer. All pockets sit nice and flat when empty.
These shorts are made in China.

Just what I wanted--lighter and more stretchy and flexible than most shorts; comfortable in warm weather; not too low in the crotch, so they're easy to hike in (they're definitely not too long for me, but I'm on the tall side). And they look good, so you don't feel silly if you wear them in the city. I'm going to buy another pair.
