Arc'teryx Gamma Short 9" Women's is a durable and lightweight softshell short developed for active days in the outdoors where mobility, comfort and weather protection matter. The short is well suited to hiking and mountain routes in varying conditions, providing reliable stretch comfort throughout the day.

It is made from Fortius™ DW 2.0 softshell fabric, which combines good breathability with light warmth and weather resistance. The fabric delivers effective freedom of movement and comfort during activity, while standing up to rugged use in the field. An articulated pattern together with a gusset in the crotch ensures natural movement on steep and technical terrain.

The fit is tailored to active use, with a low-profile waistband and an offset buckle for high comfort even when wearing a climbing harness. The short features secure zip hand pockets as well as a harness-compatible thigh pocket, keeping small essentials safe and easily accessible on the go.

A fluorocarbon-free DWR finish protects against light moisture, and the materials have been selected with a focus on sustainability through recycled content and bluesign®-approved qualities.
