Black Diamond Pursuit Shorts Men's Black Size S - Stretch Nylon Outdoor Climbing Hiking Shorts with DWR, UPF 50+

On hot, demanding days in the mountains, ordinary shorts can hold you back with heavy fabrics, restricted movement, and slow drying times. The Black Diamond Pursuit Shorts solve these problems with a featherlight, four-way stretch nylon blend that moves with you on every high step and rock-over, while a PFC-free DWR finish sheds light precipitation and a UPF 50+ rating shields your skin from intense alpine sun. Whether you're redpointing at the crag, pushing miles on a dusty trail, or just grabbing a post-climb beer, these shorts keep you cool, dry, and unrestricted.

Tips

For best results, wash these shorts in cold water with a mild detergent and hang dry to preserve the DWR finish. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce breathability and water repellency. If the DWR coating wears off after extended use, reactivate it by tumble drying on low heat for a few minutes or using a spray-on DWR treatment.
