Details & care

The Black Diamond Notion Short keeps us cool and comfortable on long, hot days at the local crag or late nights in the gym. The lightweight fabric is soft and airy, and the stretch fabric and gusseted seat give us a full range of motion so we can fluidly move across the wall. The drawcord waist allows us to secure a tight fit and easily fits beneath our harness so we can comfortably climb and belay for hours.

True to size

Fit great, personally wish they were a little shorter but that's okay.

These are good shorts

I like this version. They fit me better than the old version, and they're very comfortable to climb in.

Comfortable and solid for climbing

These are great. Really like climbing in these and lounging around the house. Front pockets are way deep, which is great.
