Details & care

Whether we're sending bolted limestone or mantling sandstone boulders, we're in the Black Diamond Dirtbag Short. The tough build is both soft and stretchy for movement and resting comfort yet resists tearing and snagging against rock. Built with a low-profile elastic waist, this pair sits comfortably under our harness, and the internal drawcord lets us cinch in the fit while keeping the cord ends safely stored on the inside.

  • Tough short for the approach, send, and celebratory brew
  • Hardwearing cotton blend is strong and breathable
  • Built-in stretch and gusset panel for complete freedom of movement
  • Elastic waist with drawcord for a comfortably secure fit
  • Stretch twill colorways feature organic cotton
  • 4 pockets stash your smaller essentials
  • Item #11647950
  • Core Product ID 33333BGAPV

Durable Everyday Shorts

These now stick out in my closet as the go-to shorts. Very comfortable, full freedom of movement and they seem like they will be very durable!

Hard to say

Followed the fit guide and these are far too small. 31” waist and ordered a medium - fit like bike shorts. I hate sending stuff back, such a hassle.

Amazing shorts

Very comfortable shorts. Wear them all the time for bouldering in J Tree to running errands around town. Perfect comfy minimalist short. I owe three of them now.

Rugged and comofrtable

Excellent shorts for casual hiking and out and about town. The corduroy option adds some versatility for in-town activities too. Good, deep pockets and a good amount of stretch

Comfy to Climb

Excellent shorts for climbing or hanging out. Material is very sturdy yet stretchy. The styling is very classic.

too tight to be a real dirtbag

Love the feel of the cords, super soft and nice stretchy waistband. My main complaint is the hips are too tight; I'm no wirey climber. . spend more time on my mtb (not in these shorts though!). 5'10", 165 and the med is a bit tight. I'd be swimming in a large so hoping these will stretch out.

Amazing

Simply the best shorts I’ve purchased in a long time. They are comfy and stretchy and feel high quality, and I really like the style. The color is a little more peach and a little bit less khaki than I expected but I still really like them!

Love these shorts!

Great fit. I like the drawstring to help support the waistband when you have stuff in your pockets. The Like the stretch in the material that moves with me.

The only problem I had

The only problem I had was that I like them too much. They are over priced as well.

nice feel and style but not great with a harness

Great fit and style and comfort. I really like to wide-wales. Really nice for bouldering, but the legs are too short for good fir under a harness.
