A short-inseam black outdoor pant in sizes 30–36, with a stretch waist, adjustable hem and stated YKK zips, ordered through a shopping agent. Line-level Gamma Pant reviews describe a slightly roomy, slightly long cut, but none of that evidence covers this exact listing. Confirm waist, hip and inseam with the seller before ordering.

Fit notes
Listing: waist 80/85/90/95 cm for 30/32/34/36, inseams 76–79 cm, with about 5 cm of adjustment at both waist and hem. Line-level Gamma Pant data runs slightly roomy at the waist (about 3.0/5) and slightly long (3.3/5); one tester measuring 90–92 cm at the waist chose 34 over 36.
Buy if
You want a short-inseam (76–79 cm) black pant for commute or moderate trail use and will confirm measurements and pocket layout with the seller first. Your size sits inside the stated 80–95 cm waist range, and the seller's fabric description is not central to your decision.
Skip if
You specifically want Arc'teryx's stated Fortius DW 2.0 softshell, rear pockets, or a lighter summer-weight fabric. The listing describes a different material, and line-level Gamma Pant reviews note heat retention and a three-pocket layout with no rear pockets.

Buying FAQ
No. Arc'teryx specifies Fortius DW 2.0 (88% nylon / 12% elastane, 186 gsm) with a laminated hem, while the listing describes imported "TerraTex" four-way stretch with fully taped construction — treat the seller's material wording as marketing.
The listing's 76–79 cm inseams for sizes 30–36 are consistent with Arc'teryx's short-length (S) version, which is listed at about 31"/79 cm at size 32, rather than regular or tall.
Line-level Gamma Pant reviews average about 3.0/5 on waist (slightly roomy) and 3.3/5 on inseam (slightly long), and one tester at a 90–92 cm waist found size 36 too big and 34 the better fit.
It is mixed on the Gamma Pant line: one buyer reported premature interior pilling after two moderate hikes, while several others report strong abrasion resistance and multi-year use without holes.
The listing doesn't describe the pocket layout, so that remains unknown for this item. On the Gamma Pant line, reviewers repeatedly flag three pockets total and no rear pockets.
Evidence
Line-level (current men's Gamma Pant): one buyer reported premature pilling on the inside of the pants after only two moderate, flat-terrain hikes within about a month of light use, and did not recommend the product on durability grounds.
SourceLine-level: several reviewers of the men's Gamma Pant report strong abrasion resistance in practice — one put a pair through dozens of crack-climbing pitches, off-width jamming and falls without scuffing the fabric, and others cite multi-year use with no holes.
SourceLine-level: OutdoorGearLab's men's Gamma Pant review rates the pant as one of the better weather-resistant, durable hiking pants tested (wind blocking, DWR that beads water, fast drying), while calling it expensive and noting the absence of rear pockets.
SourceLine-level: men's Gamma Pant reviewers repeatedly flag the current pocket layout — three pockets total, no rear pockets, single thigh pocket — as a downgrade versus earlier versions of the same pant.
SourceLine-level: reviewers describe the Gamma Pant as warm and wind/water-resistant but less breathable than summer-oriented hiking pants, holding heat in hot weather; the fabric is thin and swishes when moving.
SourceThe catalog copy's fabric description (imported 'TerraTex' four-way stretch, fully taped construction) does not match Arc'teryx's official Gamma Pant specification, which is a Fortius DW 2.0 double-weave softshell of 88% nylon / 12% elastane at 186 gsm with a laminated hem — treat the seller's material claims as marketing, not an authentic spec match.
SourceLine-level (men's Gamma Pant): on Arc'teryx's own product page for the men's Gamma Pant, 81 buyer reviews average a waist rating of about 3.0/5 (1 = fits small, 5 = fits large) and an inseam rating of about 3.3/5 (1 = too short, 5 = too long), i.e. the cut tends to read slightly roomy and slightly long rather than tight.
SourceLine-level: a Taiwan outdoor-gear forum user measuring 90–92 cm at the waist found men's Gamma Pant size 36 too big and judged 34 the correct (slightly relaxed) fit, so buyers sitting between two waist numbers may prefer the smaller one.
