In summary This content is written by AI

Customers particularly appreciate its lightness, comfort and quick-drying fabric: several describe it as a “second skin” that disappears when moving. The pockets are considered practical and well designed, while the elastic waistband and belt loops make it easy to wear every day. It has been used for hiking in very hot weather, multi-day treks, climbing, excursions and outdoor activities; some customers have already bought another one. A good choice for warm-weather use.

I'm reviewing them after testing them in the mountains for trekking and via ferratas. They're a size 46 (Italian), comfortable to wear, and stretchy enough to allow for all kinds of movement in the mountains without impediments. A very good product with a well-finished finish. I would have preferred the two lower side pockets instead of the front ones, but they're still comfortable, even with items like a wallet and phone.

Perfect size, the high-performance elasticity at the waist means you don't need a belt, the stretch is very comfortable, ideal for mountain hiking.

Very good quality shorts, lightweight and well-designed. Size M is perfect for my 1.70m (5'7") and 73kg (169 lbs); they make my bum look great, which was no small feat.

I've already appreciated the Galibier Court model, in two colors: Anthracite and Denim Blue, as a recent purchase: it's well-made, and the shorter length is perfect for warmer climates. Kudos to CimAlp for including shorts in their men's catalog, in addition to long and medium-length shorts: they're rare gems, an exception, given that commercial choices are usually dictated more by fashion than common sense. The purchase process is easy; the return process is simple, as I already experienced it with my first purchase, and the refund is quick. The Galibier Medium is also a nice product, comfortable and equipped with an extra pocket compared to the Court version, with a small compass as an accessory. Satisfied.

I already had several pairs of these shorts in the shorter version, and I ordered the mid-length model for wearing around town. Nice cut, true to size. I recommend them.
