Why We Like The ORTOVOX Pala Short
The ORTOVOX Pala Shorts are super durable and comfortable technical alpine climbing shorts with a past-knee cut for full coverage. An exceptionally abrasion-resistant, four-way stretch exterior nylon fabric is complemented by a Merino wool interior, giving us the best balance between durability, comfort, and performance. A PFC-free DWR coating sheds off any moisture we encounter to keep us dry and comfortable. The Pala Shorts have an athletic cut and articulated knees for optimal freedom of movement, and the mesh waistband inserts and adjustment system provide airflow and ensure a snug fit.

These are nice shorts. They are light, stretchy, and adjustable in the waist. I also like the color. The past-knee length for full coverage on the description of the item is false. It falls to the top of the knee. The main reason I purchased them was for the described length. Because of this and the high price point, I rated it three stars.
