Comfort meets utility in the Dirtbag Shorts for climbing and everyday wear
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"These are the shorts I live in all summer. They're comfy enough for lounging but built tough enough for climbing sessions. The wide waistband never digs under a harness, and the mix of twill and corduroy fabrics is super fun—I've ended up with more than one pair."
When the temps rise and the climbing plans come together, we reach for the Black Diamond Dirtbag Shorts. Built for days at the crag and downtime at camp, they combine functional stretch with laid-back comfort in a silhouette that nods to classic vintage style.
We love the wide elastic waistband and drawcord for a dialed-in fit, and the mix of available fabrics—stretch twill or corduroy—lets us choose our vibe. With roomy drop-in pockets and a mid-rise fit that pairs well with harnesses, these are the kind of shorts that move from route to rest day without missing a beat.

Very similar feel and fit
Very similar feel and fit to the dirtbag long pants. The higher waist line and longer legs allow for a harness to perfectly fit over. The material is stretchy and sturdy.

really great!
I really like the material and they fit as expected. Elastic waistband is comfortable. Length is a little long but perfect for fitting under climbing harness. I also wear them rolled up for a shorter/cuter fit when i'm not climbing

Super comfy and a great length!
These shorts are great! They are very stretchy and are made from a durable material. I really like the length because I can wear a harness with them, and they won't ride up. They are also great for bouldering (and I'm sure they are comfy to hike in too). Follow the size chart b/c they fit great based off of that!

Comfy big pocket shorts
I love these shorts, great for around town. They would be better boulder shorts. They rode up when I wore them with my climbing harness.

Super comfy
I have these shorts in both the twill and the corduroy. The twill fits looser than the corduroy, but the XS still fits me perfectly in both. The drawstring is needed in the twill but I don't use it in the corduroy. The rear pockets could be deeper for phone storage during casual use, but I love the drop in pockets in front for no-worry carrying of small items. I haven't really worn any other shorts since getting these!

Cool Cordoroy Shorts
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- Small
I bought these earlier in the summer - I have the blue wide-wale cordoroy. They are a very pretty medium blue. I usually wear a small or extra small and the small in these shorts just fits (I have a high rise). Otherwise the sizing works well.
