The Arc'teryx Women's Gamut Short handles any number of activities and is good for doing nothing too. A low-rise waist and long cut save you from looking like a dork. The Gamut's fit stays loose when at play and is relaxed enough to let you rest when you need it. Made with a gusseted crotch and chamois-lined waistband, these shorts are ready for anything you have in mind. Zippered side pockets hold onto your valuables as you make your way up overhanging obstacles. Built for the rocks, these shorts use heavy cotton canvas with double and triple needle construction for a lifetime of use.
Bottom Line: Arc'teryx made the Gamut Shorts for working hard or hardly working.
I have a lot of shorts, but I keep wearing these just about everyday, that's why I have 3 pairs!! I like the zippered side pockets to keep my stuff from falling out. They are heavy duty canvas like material. The legs are a little bit baggy, but I like the overall comfort and feel. They wash and wear well and can take just about anything I throw at them. They are a very casual short. I have then in size 10 and 12. The 10 is a little bit more tailored so it tends to look a little dressier the 12's are baggier, but they suit me perfect for the woods and outdoor activities. I think they run true to size. All my other Arteryx pants are size 10 and the fit is comfortable and nice.
