Deep Dive
Why We Love the Arch Rock Short: We're impressed that Marmot designed the Arch Rock Short specifically with the needs of hikers and climbers in mind. Not only is the fabric incredibly durable and resistant to abrasion, but it also offers excellent mobility thanks to its stretchy nature. On top of that, the material wicks away moisture from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable during your adventures. Additionally, the quick-drying feature ensures you'll never have to deal with soggy shorts after an unexpected rain shower, thanks to the DWR coating that repels raindrops.
