"I’ve been on a multi-year quest for the ideal pair of everyday/outdoor shorts and these Black Diamond shorts are the clear winner. The material feels premium — lightweight, quick-drying, and tough enough for real use without being stiff or noisy. The fit is spot-on: comfortable through the hips and thighs with just the right amount of stretch so they move with you instead of restricting. What really sets them apart is the pockets. They’re deep, well-placed, and actually usable — phone stays secure, keys don’t dig in, and I can actually carry a few small tools or snacks without everything shifting around. I’ve tried shorts from Origin, Backcountry, and several other brands, and none of them checked all the boxes like these do. Whether I’m hiking, working around the house, or just running errands, these have become my daily go-to. Excellent build quality from a brand that clearly understands real-world use. Highly recommend — worth every penny"
"Track & XC coach, use to wear running shorts when at meets, even practice, found that I need a lot more pockets, wanted light weight shorts and I know Black Diamond has good outdoor gear- came here and found what I needed, what worked -very glad too, these shorts are well made, lot of "secure/deep pockets""
"Compared to a medium of other BD bottoms, I would say its like 1-1. 5 sizes smaller than those. Inseam Shorter than expected, waist and thighs are smaller than expected too. Besides the tight fit fabric, stretch and construction are great!"
"A little too short for my liking"
"slightly tight fit, but good overall shorts"
"These are comfortable and well designed shorts with a durable fabric."
"These are great shorts! Comfortable, breathe well and are hearty! My only issue is that they are too expensive."
