Trail-lasting comfort

On a hike, every kilometre tests your kit. As the hours stack up, even the smallest discomfort becomes a constant irritation.

These shorts were designed to move with your body without resistance. The stretch material follows the natural range of your stride, uphill and down. Breathable and lightweight, they expel heat even under sustained effort, maintaining a clean fit from the first hour to the last.

Because a great day in the mountains starts with kit that disappears. Focus on the trail, not on what you're wearing.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers are won over by its genuinely short length, a welcome alternative to the usual longer bermuda shorts, as well as by its comfort. Many find it lightweight, pleasant to wear and flexible enough not to restrict movement, with good ventilation in hot weather. They also praise its quality, smart appearance and summer-appropriate thickness; one customer has already bought a second pair, while another says they will order again. One thing to note: several customers miss having a rear pocket.

I have scoured the world to find shorts of this length and quality for quite some time and have not found other shorts comparable to these ones. Short shorts are very common here in New Zealand but they are either heavy polyester hunting shorts or cotton farming shorts. These Cimalp ones are a perfect length and weight for summer and are very well made. They look smart and feel great on, and I couldn't be happier to have found them. I will be a return customer into the future.

The shorts are ok, material and fabric is ok, but they are too short in the leg. Normal walking shorts are too long, almost brushing the knee, so I ordered these to try a shorter length short, but they are too short. Also, these are size Large but the pockets are tight when using them.

Finally, shorts that are actually shorts! This item is very comfortable and very well-cut (unlike Bermuda shorts marketed as "shorts") for mountain hiking. It fits me perfectly (I ordered a size S, which is a size 38 in stores) and I'm delighted with itI ordered another pair right away.

I really like this product. Comfortable, flexible, and lightweight. Its understated look means it's suitable for more than just hiking. I'm short and stocky, and thanks to the elastic waistband, the stretch fabric, and the cropped cut, these shorts fit me perfectly (about mid-thigh). Usually, when I buy mid-length shorts in the right size (for my build), they're Bermuda shorts, which are practically capris on me. Thanks to Cimalp for making products that also fit people who aren't tall and slim, and for offering this cropped style. I highly recommend it.
