Mountain Equipment says
Well fitting, stretchy and quick drying shorts for hot days of climbing and trekking in the mountains. Tough, stretchy and quick drying, Comici Shorts are perfect for sustained climbing and active use in warm environments. Our Women’s Active fit ensures you won’t be held back whether on a single pitch evening climb in the height of summer or carrying loads to a remote big wall.
Our Verdict
Mountain Equipment's Womens Comici Shorts use the same tough softshell fabric as the super popular pants. The Exolite 125 fabric has really good stretch to provide a comfy fit. This stretch means that they are versatile enough for climbing, a bit of trail running and general hiking. The women's specific fit is an active cut meaning it's a bit tighter than usual shorts and suits active pursuits. The integrated belt is easy-to-use and is a good addition to the shorts.
The 3 pockets are all a useful size and they all have zip closures, something you don't always get on trekking shorts. The weight, stretch, comfort and durability are really well balanced resulting is a great pair of shorts for a range of conditions and activities.
