FEATURES of the Men's Palisade Short by Arcteryx
SPECIFICATIONS:
We are not able to ship Arcteryx products outside the US because of that other thing.
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.
Arc'Teryx's Palisade series of bottoms is particularly well-suited to rugged backcountry explorations. Constructed with quick-drying TerraTex stretch fabric, these lightweight and breathable pieces feature laminated construction and soft chamois lined waists for hours of on-trail comfort.

Toughest shorts I've ever had | |
| Rating: |  |
| I have 3 pairs, and wear them 7 days a week for 7 months out of the year. My problem with shorts (and pants) has always been that the fabric in the seat wears out from commuting on a bike. Two of my three pairs are 2 years old I think, and they still show no signs of wear. They are amazing shorts. I commute on them, wear them all day, and wear them at the gym... so they get washed a lot, and still no signs of wear. I like the deep pockets on the side. The little pocket is indeed very little, but it works for keys (if your keyring is small enough) and other tiny things. | |

Awesome shorts! | |
| Rating: | |
So many good things to say about them. Just one note on the size is that they are a bit tight in the butt. I have no butt and I normally wear 35". 35" W clothing is tuff to find so I normally have to go up or down. Normally I go down. I got these in a 36 and was surprised how tight in the butt they were. It isn't a problem and they are very comfortable but if have a big butt you may want to go up one size. | |

Water park pants. | |
| Rating: | |
One of my fave shorts. An other good reason for buying these shorts. They are great for there ability to dry after being swamped at the water parks. I was the first person in the family to dry and the shorts came back to the same shape as when I entered the parks. Enough secure pockets and comfortable waist band for when it is hot and humid. The fit works for me. I am picking up another pair. | |

Just the opposite of first review-Great! | |
| Rating: | |
I love these shorts. I do a lot of hiking, but also a lot of sea kayaking. These shorts do both well. The fabric is stretchy and durable, and the cut is slim but not constricting. Basically, perfect for doing just about anything in the warm weather. I have to remind myself not to wear these around the house. I even took these shorts surfing last weekend and they performed fine. | |

Comfortable, well designed shorts | |
| Rating: | |
An interesting array of reviews on these arcteryx shorts. These shorts fit me well. I like the cut. The pockets are handy (although the one on the upper right is a little odd as it's narrow -- maybe good for an ipod). Material dries fast and seems quite durable. I wear these shorts hiking, at the gym, in the water, at summer barbecues, whatever. They work for me. | |

Well thought out design, beautifully made | |

| Have 2 pairs so that I don't miss out when one is in the wash. Great fit for size, terrific fabric. Zippered pockets are neat, easily accessible below backpack hipbelt, and keep small items from falling out. Best thing is these shorts hold up very well to use. Tough for the outdoors, yet slick enough for the club. Buy one, no two! | |

PERFECT IN EVERY DETAIL | |

| I HAVE COME TO EXPECT A CERTAIN TYPE OF QUALITY FROM ARCTERYX. THESE SHORT JUST REINFORCE WHAT I ALREADY KNOW. THIS COMPANY JUST MAKES GREAT QUALITY ITEMS. FIRST I BOUGHT THEIRS JACKETS THEN PANTS AND NOW SHORTS. IF YHEY START MAKING UNDERWEAR I WILL BUY THEM TOO. | |

| I like theses shorts a lot. The double side pockets work really well while climbing, very easy access. The only draw back is that they are a little tight in the hips and I am a skinny dude. | |

Great fit and utility-worth the price | |

| Super tough fabric great for bouldering and yard work! Fit is perfect, and the zipper pockets are easy to use and fill up with stuff. Moosejaw rocks! | |

Pockets placed for a backpacking simian | |
| Rating: |  |
I am a total ArcT junkie, and totally love my Palisade pants, but the main pockets on these shorts are just too low. I am not able to casually stick my hands in my pockets (without bending a bit at the waist... not a good look), and anything of substance placed in them bangs annoyingly against my thighs. | |

These are the weirdest pants I have bought since I bought a pair of Joe Namath replica hot pants when I was 12 | |

$90 shorts for people with no muscle | |
| Rating: | |
If you are built like a twig and you like wearing paper-thin material these shorts are for you. Waist size is accurate, however, if you have any muscle (or fat) on your legs you will be disappointed. | |

you got white thighs? not anymore. | |
| Rating: |  |
I'm usually a 32in waist but went to 34in based on previous reviews and I'm glad I did. The 34 fit my waist well and the nylon belt worked well to pick up the little bit of slack. There is a very soft and comfortable inner waist band lining. I also liked the elasticity in the material....However, these shorts were way to short for my taste and I had to send em' back. I'm 5'9" and the cut on these shorts came about 3in above my knee when I was standing. Obviously, even shorter in stride. This could also contribute to some awkward pocket issues as related to in earlier reviews.If you are looking for tanner lower thighs and showing those bad boys off to everyone else passing you on the trail pick these up. | |

Fits great, terriffic fabric, but pockets too low - intended for a backpacking simian | |

I am not able to casually stick my hands in my pockets (without bending a bit at the waist... not a good look), and anything of substance placed in them bangs annoyingly against my thighs. The upper pocket on the left side is ridiculously small... basically only useful for one of the following: * tube of lip balm * piece of tissue * doggy poo bag (size small) * rolled up dollar bill. While I assume that the pockets were placed lower in order to avoid the waist belt on a large backpack, it just doesn't work for daily life use-required of an $85 pair of shorts. I am bummed! | |

odd side pocket | |
| Rating: | |
They fit true to size... very comfortable and light weight. I still do not get the odd size thigh pocket on the right leg?!? Seems to have been made for chap-stick or one single pen. Other than that they are a great pair of shorts. I've been using them mostly for running and some surfing( they dry very quickly). | |
