What are the Tarfala Shorts?
The Tarfala Shorts are lightweight yet durable mountain shorts designed for warmer weather. They make the perfect companion for summer adventures, whether hiking, scrambling, camping or backpacking and are equally handy for topping up that tan when out on the hill!
What are they made of?
The Tarfala Shorts comprise lightweight, double-weave fabric with a four-way stretch that combines partially recycled nylon and spandex. Though recycled, the nylon yarn is incredibly light and durable and can resist abrasion on rough surfaces well - perfect for exploring rocky terrain. Added spandex gives these shorts a lovely stretch to enhance comfort and freedom of movement, providing incredible versatility that goes effortlessly from town to trail and beyond.
The material is treated with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent). Being PFC-free, this repellent avoids using per-fluorinated chemicals that permanently damage our environment - otherwise known as 'forever chemicals'.
For extra eco-friendly credentials, the fabric is also bluesign® approved. bluesign® approval confirms that these materials avoid using harmful substances when manufactured while using reduced air and water emissions, increasing resource productivity and ensuring that the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
What are their features?
An adjuster is built into the waistband, allowing you to adjust and optimise the fit without needing to buy a belt separately. It feels smooth and has a low-bulk construction, making it super comfy for wearing on long hill days and for more intense mountain activities.
Two hand pockets offer plenty of storage for small essentials like trail snacks and energy gels, and a back-zipped pocket is ideal for safely tucking away keys or spare cash. You also get a pocket on the thigh which is perfect for storing your mobile phone as it keeps it out of your way, promoting unhindered movement on technical or steep terrain and reducing the chance of it slipping out on the move.
