The Palisade Short by Arc’teryx is a lightweight trail-ready style perfect for spring and summer activity.

Constructed from the highly technical TerraTex fabric blend, they’re 94% nylon and 6% elastane – with plenty of stretch for mobility and all-day comfort, complemented by a trim fit that prevents snagging while on the trail (especially in narrow spots).

These shorts are breathable, moisture-wicking and quick-drying, so they really are ready for action. That said, they’re equally suitable for occasions that are less strenuous, such as summer city breaks, festivals, barbecues and more.

Thanks to the 10” inseam, they look casual as you like, fitting into any setting. The built-in adjustable belt allows you to fine-tune the fit, with a chamois-lined waist for guaranteed comfort however you choose to wear them.

Another huge bonus to the Palisade Short, whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or an active city-dweller, is that it offers pockets galore – five in total, and all zippered. You’ve got two hand pockets (mesh-lined), two cargo pockets and a back-right pocket, giving you plenty of choice for securing your phone, wallet, href=' style='font-weight: 400;'>EDC and whatever else you’ve got on you.
