After thorough testing in scorching summer temperatures, we recognized the need for improvement, and so we present to you the latest iteration of the Alta 5" shorts—the highly breathable Alta Light. With a focus on enhancing ventilation and keeping you cool during hot weather, the Alta Light now boasts a 4-way stretch fabric with micro perforations on the front body and back yoke, optimizing airflow. For the seat of the shorts, we have retained the lightweight and durable nylon 4-way stretch material with a water-resistant finish, ensuring it withstands any unique strain or abrasion. While preserving all the functional features of the original Alta 5" shorts, the Alta Light offers a lighter alternative. Alongside a moisture-wicking brief liner that keeps you dry, a 5" inseam for optimal coverage, and an extended-slit notched hem, the flat jacquard elastic single-ply waistband with an internal drawstring provides an impeccable fit and unmatched comfort. The YKK zippered back pocket secures your belongings reliably and features a waterproof coated fabric lining for added protection. Additionally, the back side pockets serve as convenient storage for on-the-go fuel, gels, snacks, or even as a reliable spot to pack out any trash you come across while out on the trails.
