"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I like these for crag days that turn into town hangs. The cotton feels sturdy but comfortable, and the elastic waistband with the integrated belt makes it easy to dial in the fit without fussing with a zipper fly.""When the day starts at the trailhead and ends with dusty hands and tired forearms, we want shorts that move easily and hold up to the rock. The Black Diamond Ethos Shorts are built for warm-weather climbing, hiking, and everyday wear, blending durable cotton comfort with a movement-focused silhouette. Made from organic cotton with a hint of stretch, the fabric feels soft yet resilient and gradually develops character over time thanks to its dye-in process. The elastic waistband and integrated belt provide a secure, adjustable fit that stays comfortable under a harness or pack. With a mid-thigh inseam and a relaxed cut through the thighs, these shorts allow unrestricted movement on high steps, heel hooks, and long approaches. From the crag to the city, the Ethos Shorts are built to last and feel better with every wear."
