What are the Lizard Softshell Shorts?
They're highly comfortable and super stretchy softshell shorts that are ideal for all manner of outdoor activities in warmer climates. Highly durable, wind and water-resistant, they strike the perfect balance between comfort and practicality, making them the perfect pair of mountain-ready shorts for all your summer alpine adventures.
What are they made from?
The Lizard Softshell Shorts are made from a durable softshell fabric called FlexAble™, comprising recycled polyamide, polyamide and elastane. This fabric boasts a comfortable four-way stretch for an unhindered range of movement for climbing, scrambling and tackling steep terrain. The material is wind and water-resistant whilst still being vapour permeable for good levels of breathability, so you don't get clammy when the going gets tough. The inner of the fabric is designed to effectively wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you comfortable and making them suitable for physically demanding outdoor activities.
The outside of the shorts has been treated with a PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent) to enhance the fabric's water-resistant properties without using chemicals that are harmful to the environment. However, please note that this doesn't make the shorts fully waterproof.
What are their features?
The Lizard Softshell Shorts feature an adjustable integrated belt that allows you to tailor the fit to your activity, so you don't have to worry about your trousers falling down mid-hike or being uncomfortable after a big lunch.
Built with mobility in mind, these four-way stretch shorts feature a regular fit, gusseted crotch, and offset seams for fantastic freedom of movement and protection against chafing whilst wearing a climbing harness.
For storage, you'll find a total of three pockets, two hand pockets and one zippered thigh pocket that offer plenty of storage for a mobile phone, GPS device, trail snacks and energy gels. Each pocket has a mesh lining to enhance the short's ventilation and help keep you cool in warm climates.
