What are the Tenacity Lite Shorts?
They're lightweight yet durable shorts designed for fast paced mountain adventures in warmer climates. Whether fast-hiking with friends, beating a fastpacking PB or scrambling up your favourite peak, they provide excellent freedom of movement for technical manoeuvres and steep ascents. However, their versatile, minimal design also makes them ideal for casual summer days heading to the beer garden or even to work.
What are they made of?
These shorts are made with Granite Stretch Lite - a lighter version of the regular Granite Stretch fabric. It's both lightweight and highly abrasion and wind resistant, providing reliable protection against the elements and your surroundings without compromise. As you may have guessed, Granite Stretch Lite is super stretchy, making it ideal for steep ascents or more technical scrambles where you need a higher range of movement. It feels smooth against the skin and comfortable enough to wear for longer periods or multi-day trips.
The material is coated with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent), which enhances water resistance without using chemicals that are harsh to the environment.
What are their features?
They have an integrated webbing belt that helps to keep the waistband in place and ensures you won't end up with your kecks around your ankles, and a zipped fly makes it easy to answer the call of nature when needed.
Two mesh pockets are ideal for storing small items such as trail snacks and energy gels, yet double up nicely as ventilation if you're working up a sweat. You can simply leave them unzipped to allow airflow through the mesh bags inside.
A zipped rear pocket works better for bulkier items such as a mobile phone, wallet or GPS, keeping them out of your way and ensuring they don't hinder your movement if you're stepping up high.
