Arc'teryx Rampart Long Short - Men's
Really...I Can't Say Enough

Ranked #401 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Shorts
November 8, 2009
I own 3 pairs of these guys and I love them. These were my first "climbing" shorts and I did not think they would be this great for climbing. First, they have a fully gusseted crotch which makes for extremely great mobility. Overhanging heels hooks usually are a problem with alot of my shorts and they take away my range of motion but not these bad boy. Simply awesome. They are comfortable, breath extremely well, and super durable. I really can't say enough about these things.
The only problem is the Titanium stains easy...and permanently. Usually bike grease comes off all my clothes, but not these guys. But I fixed that by getting 2 dark Titanium.

Mine got greasy and had some pine sap stuck to them, and I took a gamble and tried 100% acetone on the stains and sap and they came right out. Acetone generally melts plastic, so use this trick at your own risk (test on the back of the hem), but it saved my shorts, so to speak.
