Lightweight Approach Short delivers breathable comfort for climbing days and hot-weather trekking
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I like these shorts for long, warm days when I’m moving a lot. They dry quickly, stay comfortable under a harness, and don’t bunch or pinch when climbing. The waistband is especially nice when wearing a pack for hours at a time."
We reach for the Approach Short when the plan involves heat, movement, and long days outside. Built by Mountain Equipment for climbing and trekking in warm conditions, these shorts stay light and breathable whether we’re pushing up long routes or grinding out miles on exposed trails.
The fast-drying fabric keeps things comfortable when temperatures climb, while the microfleece-lined waistband and integrated belt sit smoothly under a harness or pack. With a clean fit and no-fuss design, these shorts are made to move freely and disappear once the day gets going.
