Why We Like The Arch Rock Short

We appreciate that Marmot made the Arch Rock Short with technical performance capability for hikers and climbers. Its fabric resists abrasion, stretches for mobility, wicks moisture, and dries quickly for comfort. The Arch Rock also has a DWR coating to repel raindrops and spring showers.

I’m ready for summer with my rock shorts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable, allows full range of motion. A good blend of sturdy, lightweight material.

The everything short

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are perfect. I will typically wear a 35" with shorts like these, because they have stretch and don't really stay on well while hiking. I purchased the 36" and although it has stretch it is not overly stretchy and stays perfectly where it should stay while hiking, sitting, climbing, wading, and any other activity I do. Currently replacing all my hiking pants/shorts with Marmot products.

Great shorts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shorts for all year round. I use them for working out and hanging out. I got them on sale so they weren’t that expensive. Thank you, Marmot.

Arch Rock Shorts

I have 2 older pair and love them!! This new design is terrible!! The belt is awful!! Need to add a couple inches to the length too. Not everyone is 5’6”.

Great fit and easy comfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits as advertised and fabric is super soft and wrinkle free. Looks great and stylish. Nice stretchy waist for those feeling fat days.

Really like these shorts. I've bought 4 pairs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Interesting reading these reviews and many of the negative comments are actually why I like the shorts. The 9" inseam is perfect for shorter men. I enjoy the fact that I don't need the belt and honestly I never unclasp the ready made belt that is there. I've purchased 4 pairs of these and love them. They dry quickly and are super comfortable. If your looking for a fitted fit and athletic performance, these are your go to shorts. My favorites right now.
