Description
A subtle remix of MEC's time-tested shorts for rock climbing and bouldering (that's the R and B in the name). A bit of spandex added to the burly nylon fabric provides some give for long moves and high steps. A gusseted crotch gives you freedom of movement while double-layered fabric in the seat won't wear through in one season.
- Made of light and durable nylon and spandex.
- Streamlined cut slides easily under a harness, but is roomy enough for full mobility.
- Waistband is flat in the back with extra-high coverage and elasticated in the front with a drawstring for a secure fit.
- Front hand pockets have mesh pocket bags to add ventilation.
- Dedicated side brush pocket for easy access on scruffy routes.
Fit guide
Garments, designed for specific activities have features that aren’t always adaptable to general use. For example, cycling clothing is longer in the back and arms. Activity aside, the fit of MEC clothing falls into these categories:

Our next to skin fit that contours the body for no distractions

Our close to body fit with a low profile silhouette for ease of movement

Our standard, slightly off body fit for unrestricted comfort

Our roomy, off body fit for maximum comfort and easy layering
All MEC men’s and boy’s pants are regular rise.
