DYNAFIT TRANSALPER DYNASTRETCH SHORTS black out

The Dynafit Transalper Light Dynastretch are men’s technical shorts made from breathable, 4-way stretch fabric, designed for fast mountain ascents and mountaineering. Weighing just 144 g and built to last, they offer an ideal balance of protection and freedom of movement on demanding terrain.

Conditions and intended use

These shorts sit in the mid-range of technical clothing for fast mountaineering and summer mountain tours. They are designed for active mountaineers and alpinists looking for breathability and unrestricted movement as they gain altitude. Thanks to their quick-drying and wind-resistant properties, they are an excellent choice for changeable summer conditions above the tree line.

Key features and materials

• Dynastretch fabric: Offers excellent breathability and 4-way stretch for unrestricted climbing and walking on steep terrain.
• PFAS-free DWR treatment: Eco-friendly water-repellent protection without harmful chemicals helps protect against light rain and morning dew.
• Exceptionally lightweight: At just 144 g, the shorts are barely noticeable when worn and won’t weigh you down on fast ascents.
• Abrasion resistance: The dense weave helps prevent damage from contact with rock or rough mountain vegetation.
• Practical pockets: Two zipped front pockets securely store keys, a phone or an energy bar while you’re on the move.

Performance in use

On steep, technical ascents, the 4-way stretch Dynastretch fabric allows high steps and climbing movements without pulling across the thighs.

On all-day summer tours, the fabric dries quickly, helping to prevent chilling on windy ridges after intense sweating on the ascent.

In transitional seasons and during light showers, the PFAS-free DWR finish helps water droplets roll off the surface, while the partially elasticated waistband keeps the shorts in place even when carrying a heavier rucksack.

Cut and fit

The shorts have an athletic fit that sits closer to the body, reducing wind resistance and the risk of snagging on rocks.

The inseam measures 25 cm, providing good thigh coverage. The partially elasticated waistband, with snap-button and zip fastening, allows for a comfortable fit adjustment.
