Description of Arc'teryx Rampart Long Short - Women's:
Arc'teryx made the Women's Rampart Long Shorts with an ultralight stretch-nylon fabric and gusseted crotch to give hikers and climbers unlimited freedom of movement and premium comfort. The below-the-knee length makes an ideal choice for use with a climbing harness. That is, unless you're a big fan of shorts that ride up inside your leg loops. The Arc'teryx Rampart Long Shorts also come with two cargo pockets to hold a Clif Bar for long hikes or keep your cell handy, so you can call your friends and brag when you send your project. *Only available for US shipment.
Bottom Line: Arc'teryx keeps you comfortable on the trail and the rock with the lightweight Rampart Long Shorts.
the picture does not do these long shorts justice. the material is lightweight and stretchy and they fit nicely through the hips so you dont look like you are wearing some big baggy long shorts. really cute.
I bought these thinking that I'd probably return them. I was wrong. I'm short, so these "shorts" are more like capris on me, hitting just below the knee. The fabric is amazing, lightweight and stretchy. I could do gymnastics in them. I have the Hemlock color, which is a really beautiful green. It looks great with a white shirt, for a crisp, clean, athletic look.
Love this short! Does NOT ride up, yet it's a lower rise, and is very comfortable as it has stretch. Great for hiking and climbing..very flatterting fit for a long short, too. Doesn't make you look manly. Sizing is true to fit as well
