Men's climbing shorts
Men's climbing shorts are essential for any climber wishing to combine comfort and performance. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, choosing the right shorts can make all the difference during your climbing sessions. At Alpinstore, you'll find a varied selection of men's climbing shorts from the best brands, guaranteed with express delivery.
Types of climbing shorts
Men's climbing shorts come in a variety of types to meet the specific needs of every climber. There are cotton shorts, synthetic shorts and hybrid shorts. Cotton shorts are appreciated for their comfort and breathability, although they are generally less resistant to abrasion. Shorts made from synthetic materials, such as nylon or polyester, are more durable, lightweight and quick-drying, making them ideal for climbing in a variety of conditions. Hybrid shorts combine the advantages of cotton and synthetics, offering both comfort and robustness.
Criteria for choosing climbing shorts
To choose the right climbing shorts, several criteria need to be taken into account. The cut of the shorts is crucial: it must allow great freedom of movement thanks to ergonomic construction and gussets. Materials also play an essential role: stretchy, abrasion-resistant fabric is preferable to withstand friction against the rock. Pockets are an important asset, especially zipped pockets to keep your belongings safe. In addition, the waistband must be comfortable and adjustable, and often equipped with loops for a harness. Finally, breathability and moisture management are important factors in ensuring optimum comfort during intense climbing sessions.
Practice level and environment
The choice of climbing shorts also depends on your level of practice and the environments in which you evolve. For beginners, simple, comfortable shorts may suffice; these can be found at La Sportiva. Intermediate climbers will prefer technical models offering greater durability, such as those offered by Rab. For outdoor climbing in abrasive rocky environments, we recommend robust models with strategic reinforcements, such as those made by Icebreaker. On the other hand, if you mainly climb indoors, then opt for lightweight options.
