Mountain Equipment Ibex Mountain Shorts

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Built for demanding terrain and variable weather, the Ibex Mountain Shorts combine ruggedness with practical design.

Mountain Equipment says: 

Thanks to their EXOLITE 210 stretch double-weave fabric Ibex  Shorts are both durable and comfortable. They also feature four secure zip pockets and an integrated belt, making them a great choice for hiking and daily life in mountain towns.

Our Verdict

At 208g in Medium, they’re constructed from EXOLITE 210 softshell fabric, offering a balance of stretch and abrasion resistance. The alpine fit provides mobility without excess fabric, and the integrated belt keeps them secure, and im a fan of this belt; I would often switch the belt out, but this one works well. The fabric dries quickly after light rain, and the mesh-lined thigh pocket adds ventilation. The waistband is comfortable, though the belt may need occasional adjustment during long days.
