Bloc Short [Womens]

"So stretchy you can kick yourself square in the face" wasn’t on the design brief for the Bloc Short but it’s true nonetheless... if you can reach...

Sretchy and comfortable cotton twill fabric

Gussetted crotch and above-the-knee cut for movement Low-profile elastic waistband fits neatly under harnesses

The Bloc Short are designed to make heel hook hindrance a thing of the past. The Soft cotton twill (with a touch of spandex) provides a frankly silly level of dynamic movement. And this naturally breathable material makes the Bloc Short ideal for baking hot sport climbs and sweaty indoor bouldering. If that wasn’t enough climbing comfort, the diamond-shape gusseted crotch and above-the-knee cut allow you to execute awkward moves with orangutan levels of limb looseness. The stretchy twill also allowed us to make the Bloc Climbing Short a slimmer fit than standard climbing shorts so they don't snag on craggier crags. Climbing shorts need to be durable, especially if they’re being subjected to rough Peak District grit. Cotton is a naturally hard-wearing material and possesses inherent grip properties. A simple low-profile elastic waistband is easy to pull on and fits neatly under harnesses. And there are four jeans-style pockets for phones, guidebooks and retina-burningly bright beanies.
