Why We Like The Notion Short

Sending your first 5.12 was awesome, but mowing down two large pepperoni pies as a way to celebrate maybe wasn’t the best idea. While you lay down moaning in the shade and wait for the feeling to pass, give a little thanks for the mega-comfy Black Diamond Notion Men’s Short, which is keeping you alive with its stretchy and light feel.

The shorts are comfortable with deep enough pockets for everything, they are stretchier than expected but still look nice. I wish they had a belt loop as well but the draw string works.

COMFY!

My current go to shorts, they look pretty nice and the waist band is comfortable, even under a harness or backpack hip belt.

Comfy and durable

Very comfortable and durable. I do most things in them from climb to mowing the grass.

Favorite Shorts

These shorts fit well when most don't. The material is semi-stretchy, the pockets are perfect sized, and the color is awesome. Half of the waistband is elastic along with a high-quality drawstring in case you need them extra tight. My only complaint is that the mid-seam crotch area is sewn together a little oddly, which might be troublesome to some people. Otherwise, they are amazing.

Great shorts so far. I hope the material holds up better than the pant version.

Great climbing short

I really like these shorts. I tend to buy “Mens” shorts as I prefer the length. Womens shorts are always too short. The length is great I love the side zip pocket which fits my phone and it works well with my harness.. the material is strong and rugged and holds well to abrasions. I’m 5’5 and 145 lbs and the small fit me great. Im buying more in different colors!

I love these shorts! They are so versatile, durable and comfortable. I wear them to climb, to work (routesetting), out to bars, to work out, etc. Best shorts ever. Cant' recommend them enough.

Best pants/shorts out there

I Originally had the notion pants. Wore them for almost every activity for 2 years and decided I needed the shorts for summer activities. Stretch and thickness is perfect for durability and comfort.

A cool weather short for me

Great fit, feel, and pockets, but the material is a bit cozy for a real hot day. Will be busting them out at the shady crags or if they ever crank the A/C at the gym.
