DESCRIPTION

Living out of a cave at Camp 2 doesn't leave you a lot of room for a closet of clothes. Just pull on the technical Patagonia Men's Nomader Short and a week later, you'll forget you ever climbed in anything else. A durable body material stretches thanks to spandex in the fabric blend, and water beads off the shorts' water-repellent DWR coating. Zippered pockets hold your phone, small tools, and other essentials so you won't lose anything on a heel hook, and a gusseted crotch allows for an extensive range of motion. Even the inseam is cut with some room so when you wander into town after a couple weeks of dirt-bagging, you won't look completely out of touch with current style.
