Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma Quick Dry Shorts 11"

I walked 500km of the Camino de Santiago in September in these shorts; they were my best friends. Very breathable, fast drying, soft to the skin, great pockets. I love them, I've just ordered the second pair in a different colour. I've seen other people complaining about bottom pockets getting unglued - I didn't have this problem, but I do not tumble dry them, I just hang them to dry.

An excellent pair of shorts for travel, golf and leisure. They wash easily and pack lightly.

I bought the pants two weeks ago and also tested them while hiking. It is ultra light, you hardly notice that you have put it on. The material is very stretchy and adapts to all movements. For my feeling, the bags are quite large. A mobile phone lies quite deep in the pocket and carries on. I just had the bags shortened a little and then it was okay for me.

I bought the shorts for my husband for Father's Day and they fit him perfectly (size chart accurate). I also appreciate the description of fit (loose, fitted, etc.). The shorts were as described and he has worn them often since we purchased them for him.

Great shorts for a lo g list of activities including travel, golf, hiking and leisure. I like the shorts so much I have 4 pairs.

A Perfect Blend of Comfort, Functionality, and Style - Shorts are breathability and quick-drying capabilities ideal for outdoor activities and casual wear. They're versatile enough to transition from hiking trails to casual dining effortlessly.

Great fit for an activewear mens shorts. Lightweight and durable. Bought these for my husband in two colors.

Great walking shorts. Comfortable and light weight.

Used it for bouldering, sport climbing, hiking and longlining and loved it so far.

Nice fit and quality. Arc'teryx has greate equipment for outdoor activity.

So great bought in more colours One problem. Side pocket has delaminates while carrying phone. Pocket fabric is only glued together on the bottom, not sown. Got my mom to see it together good as new. Other than that great shorts

Great material, I had them in 11 inseam and 9 inseam. For climbing I prefer the 11 inseam. They are quite useful also for backpacking

So I really loved the Konseal shorts so I've been trying to chase that feeling since they don't make them anymore. The only downside to the konseal was the belt system I had a pair where the belt it self actually broke. So that's the upgrade in these shorts the belt is better but the material of the shorts compared to the konseal is not great. They are thick/heavier and definitely rougher almost itchy to the skin. Wish they would bring back the konseal short with the gammas belt

Almost perfect. I would really like if the shorts were slightly wider through the thighs. I have fairly skinny thighs and when I climb the shorts get stuck on the upper leg and I have to pull them down ever time. And if the shorts had slightly more stretchy it would be awesome. And the hand pockets should be deeper, and the belt buckle should be redesigned a bit because it undoes itself to often.

I have 3 different pairs of these shorts for summer hiking and backpacking trips. They are breathable, well-fitting (thanks to the integrated belt system), and have a multitude of pockets for storing supplies.

Not much to say. Get the job done. However if there is one thing I could change it would be the waist belt. If tightened too much, the slips a bit after activity. I do have a low waist to hip ratio so this might not bother the majorities.

Love this product always great to wear. And I know it will last and dry quick when I am away

I took two pairs of these shorts to a month long trip in Kalymnos Greece. They did not disappoint, they were comfortable enough for hiking to the crags, lightweight enough to climb 50 meter long routes in comfort. The zip pockets are accessible even with a harness on and make climbing with my phone possible.

Nice and lightweight short but sizing is on the smaller side. 38 fits like 36. Please be more inclusive in your sizing on this item.

As mentioned elsewhere, the glue at base of pockets doesn't hold up (should be stitched). Shame because otherwise great shorts.

Like the shorts and have several, but should be better made for the price. Bottom pocket seams come apart as noticed in multiple reviews. Almost lost my keys. Have reached out to customer service for a resolution

Bought multiple pairs, glue failed on both (bottom seam). Side pocket glue failed on 1 short. Nice material and comfortable but definitely has glue seam issues

I have only worn these shorts for a few times and already the glue seams for the pockets have scrunched up shortening the shorts up. I do not recommend these shorts, very disappointed. Also, customer service would not help you out.

I really wanted to like and recommend these shorts, and would've given 5 stars if not for failed bottom pockets that are glued and not stitched. I've lost my Apple AirPods because of that and almost lost my keys when the other pocket failed.

Ive been wearing these shorts for years in XL (Im 6ft 5 and 100kg) Now the largest size available is a 38, which is probably equivalent to a Large. Why would you do that? If you look at the availability it is the larger sizes you have sold out of, and a whole section of your market now has to shop elsewhere.
