Arc'teryx pulled out all the stops to make the Men's Palisade Shorts a great pick for climbing and hiking. Their TerraTex material uses a combination of nylon and Lycra for durability with a bit of stretch. Arc'teryx added a low-profile nylon belt to prevent pressure points when you wear these shorts under a climbing harness or backpack. Two zippered thigh pockets give you places to stash snacks, so you can refuel during belay or a rest break.
