Backcountry Stretch Cargo Short

Even the most dedicated of athletes need a pair of casual, comfortable shorts like these Stretch Cargo Shorts from Backcountry. The thick, durable cotton fabric is blended with a touch of spandex, adding a stretch factor that climbers will appreciate. Plus, they’re DWR coated—while these shorts are far from waterproof, the treatment does help to keep dirt from penetrating the fabric. Regardless of whether you’re bouldering or bar-hopping, this Backcountry style is on-point—the double-stitched front pockets and copper button add a little idiosyncratic twist to a classic cargo style. We’ve been rocking these at coffee shops, crags, and casual social gatherings all summer long, and the verdict is in: pair the Stretch Cargo Short with a short sleeve button down and you’re guaranteed to reel in a compliment or two. Bonus: This style is currently on sale! Snag one before they’re gone.
