Utility by name, utilitarian by nature - the Gamma Utility Shorts 5" from, Arc’teryx are a more-than competent option for trail running and laid-back summer escapades. They’re made from a reassuringly thick, slightly stretchy double-woven nylon/elastane taslan that boasts slight water-repellency. Articulated patterning for unrestricted movement is a thoughtful design feature, but the marque design detail is definitely the large, dual entry cargo pockets, providing plenty of storage space alongside visual interest.
