Quick verdict

There is no independent buyer evidence for this exact listing — the cited reviews describe the Gamma Pant line generally, not this pair. The catalog does publish waist, hip and inseam figures per size, a roughly 5 cm adjustable belt and a hem cinch. Match those numbers to your own measurements and confirm fabric and pockets with the seller before ordering.

  • · Owners report the stretch fabric accommodates a range of waist sizes, giving some forgiveness when picking a size.

Fit notes

Catalog measurements: 30 — 80 cm waist, 100 cm hip, 76 cm inseam; 32 — 85/105/77; 34 — 90/110/78; 36 — 95/115/79. The elastic waist and belt add about 5 cm of adjustment, the hem cinch about 5 cm. Between sizes, go up for looser, down for slimmer; Gamma-line reviewers describe a true-to-size, slim-regular cut.

Buy if

You want a short-inseam, four-way stretch pant for commuting and light hiking, and the listed waist, hip and inseam figures match your measurements. Gamma Pant reviewers describe a slim-regular cut that stays tailored while still allowing full mobility, with an integrated belt doing the fitting work.

Skip if

You need rear pockets — Gamma Pant reviewers commonly note their absence — or a longer inseam than the 76–79 cm listed. If independent reviews of this exact listing are a condition of your purchase, note that only line-level Gamma evidence is available here.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Does this fit true to size?⌄

Reviews of the Gamma Pant line describe a true-to-size, slim-regular fit. This listing publishes waist, hip and inseam figures per size, so match those numbers rather than assuming.

Which fabric does it use?⌄

The listing names TerraTex four-way stretch, while Gamma Pant reviews describe a Fortius DW 2.0 nylon blend. Ask the seller which fabric this pair uses.

Does it have back pockets?⌄

Gamma Pant reviewers commonly note the absence of back pockets. The listing describes zippered slash pockets and does not mention rear pockets.

Is the short length right for me?⌄

The listed inseams run 76–79 cm across sizes 30–36, with roughly 5 cm of hem adjustment via the ankle cinch. Gamma-line reviews note that choosing the right length variant matters as much as waist size.
