Arc'teryx Gamma Pant in the short-cut build, offered in misty green and three other colorways

Pros

• · Reports on the Gamma line describe a durable, quick-dry stretch nylon softshell with a DWR finish that is said to resist washing better than standard water-repellent coatings.
• · Wearers of Gamma pants describe them as lightweight, comfortable, and stretchy, with good freedom of movement outdoors.
• · Catalog construction: four-way stretch fabric, taped seams, YKK zip hand pockets, three-dimensional knee cut, metal belt buckle, and a stretch waist adjustable across roughly 5 cm.
• · Hem drawcords allow about 5 cm of length adjustment, useful if the listed inseam falls slightly short or long for you.

Cons

• · Public reports on the Gamma line consistently flag a small-running, sometimes tight fit in smaller sizes — a sizing risk if you order by your usual waist number.
• · The listed size 32 inseam is 77 cm, while the official Gamma Pant Short is cited at roughly 79 cm for the same size; the cut here may sit shorter than the model it references.

Fit notes

Listed sizes 30–36: waist 80/85/90/95 cm, hip 100/105/110/115 cm, inseam 76/77/78/79 cm, outseam 101/103/105/107 cm. Waist adjusts about 5 cm; hem drawcords adjust about 5 cm. Gamma-line reports say the cut runs small, so measure rather than assume your usual size.

Buy if

Your measured waist and inseam match the listed chart (30–36, waist 80–95 cm, inseam 76–79 cm) and you want the short cut with a stretch waist, metal belt, and hem drawcords. If you sit between sizes and prefer room, take the larger; for a closer fit, the smaller.

Skip if

You need a standard or long inseam, or you want sizing guidance tied to this exact listing. The available public reports describe the Gamma line generally, and the fit varies by generation — older versions looser, revised ones slimmer — so they may not map onto this pair.
