With a soft elastic waist and a loose, comfortable fit, the Notion Short is perfect for indoor training sessions and warm days at the crag.
the Black Diamond Notion Short has a light, stretchy design with an elastic waist made to fit comfortably under a harness. The movement-specific construction allows for full range of motion during high-steps, stems, and heel hooks, while the two hand pockets and a single rear pocket store your essential items when you’re not on route.

"Couple of pockets, competent stretch and quiet"
"Wear these to the gym for my training sessions and they’re perfect. They are shorter than a board short style but makes it easy to climb in."
"Best shorts ever"
"I'm really disappointed that they have changed the design, to presumably cut costs, by removing the side zipper pocket and now only having one rear pocket. These use to be the BEST shorts that had everything for work and play, but the extra pockets, especially the zipper pocket for cards and cash were what made them almost perfect. Too bad as I will now look elsewhere for the perfect pair of shorts."
"I love these shorts they are comfortable and look good. I will defiantly be buying more. They are my favorite pare of shorts I own"
"Fit great, personally wish they were a little shorter but that's okay."
"Great shorts. wearing them now"
"Comfortable and durable short!"
"I like this version. They fit me better than the old version, and they're very comfortable to climb in."
"These are great. Really like climbing in these and lounging around the house. Front pockets are way deep, which is great."
