120 Comp Light Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use the 120 Comp Light Shorts for high-output days when every gram and every bit of airflow matters. They feel like a second skin, dry incredibly fast, and never bunch or rub under a harness or pack. For intense alpine missions, they’re about as dialed as it gets."

We turn to the 120 Comp Light Short when the goal is pure efficiency and top-end performance. Designed by Ortovox for intense alpine activities, these ultralight merino shorts are built to move fast, regulate temperature, and stay comfortable when effort levels are maxed out—whether we’re pushing uphill in summer or skinning hard in winter.

Seamless circular knitting and merino body-mapping place breathable mesh exactly where heat builds up most, while fine 120 g merino delivers stretch and next-to-skin comfort. The result is a short that’s highly elastic, quick drying, and remarkably durable for its weight. With soft 16.5-micron fibers that regulate moisture and resist odor naturally, the 120 Comp Light Short disappears once it’s on—letting us focus entirely on the line ahead and the effort it takes to get there.
