Designer’s notes
“For Bloc we wanted to create shorts that are more flexible than you are and would never hold you back mid-climb. A diamond-shape gusseted crotch and a touch of spandex in the fabric both help to keep the limbs loose. The fabric also allowed a slimmer fit than standard so you can see where you’re placing your toes.
Climbing shorts need to be durable, especially if being subjected to rough Peak District grit. Cotton is a naturally hard-wearing material so was the obvious choice. We finished Bloc with a simple, low-profile elastic waistband that’s easy on and comfortable with a harness. Four pockets mean you don’t have to leave valuables hanging around.”
