Buyers of the Cronin line describe a waist-true fit that sits between slim and loose, with a leg length shorter than the Gamma series. This listing specifies a 61% cotton, 29% nylon, 10% spandex weave with a water-repellent finish. Confirm the size scale before ordering; durability reports are mixed.

Pros
- · Buyers report Cronin waist sizing runs true and the fit lands between slim and loose rather than skin-tight.
- · Knee panel detailing and the pocket layout are the features buyers single out.
- · Listing specifies a 61% cotton / 29% nylon / 10% spandex weave with a water-repellent finish and a locking YKK front zip.
Cons
- · Buyers note the Cronin inseam runs shorter than Arc'teryx's Gamma models, which matters if you need leg length.

Fit notes
Catalog: waist 80/85/90/95 cm, thigh 58–64 cm, length 97–103 cm across sizes 30–36. Buyers say Cronin waist sizing runs true, with a leg shorter than Gamma. The listing also shows S–3XL, so confirm the scale and ask for the flat inseam in your size.
Buy if
You want a mid-rise, belt-friendly outdoor pant cut for shorter legs, and you are willing to confirm the size scale and ask the seller for flat waist and inseam measurements in your size before ordering.
Skip if
You need a long inseam, or you want settled independent confirmation of how the fabric holds up to abrasion — buyer discussion of Cronin durability is split rather than resolved.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
How does the Cronin fit compare with other Arc'teryx pants?⌄
Buyers describe it as a good in-between that is not too slim, and note the inseam runs slightly shorter than the Gamma series, so expect similar waist sizing with less leg length.
Is the Cronin durable enough for climbing or daily work?⌄
Arc'teryx community threads weigh the fit and practicality against how the fabric holds up to bouldering and everyday work, and that discussion is mixed rather than settled.
What fabric does this pair use?⌄
The listing specifies a custom-dyed 61% cotton, 29% nylon, 10% spandex weave with a water-repellent finish; that is catalog material, not an independent test result.
Which size should I order?⌄
Match your waist to the listed 80/85/90/95 cm figures for sizes 30–36, and confirm with the seller that the scale is numeric rather than S–3XL.
