Harness Shorts

Near perfect!

I say “near perfect” because I don’t climb and there are all these little pockets that I’m sure have some critical path purpose but it escapes me. Nevertheless, the fit, the stretch, the style, the breathable fabric, and the absolutely perfect colors make these the best shorts I’ve ever owned. I initially bought two pairs, but I have since purchased 3 additional pairs so I can wear them all summer. I can not recommend them enough.

I’m very happy with both the shorts and the customer service at Rungne. I normally wear size M and ended up exchanging them for a size L. I’ll be testing them properly this summer. If the quality holds up, I’ll definitely be back for more.

Poor quality

I really wanted to like these shorts because the fit is excellent and the design is solid. Unfortunately, the fabric quality just isn’t there. After very minimal wear, the material began deteriorating and pilling badly, making the shorts look worn out far too quickly. To their credit, customer support was responsive, apologetic, and genuinely tried to make things right by sending replacements. I appreciate the effort and professionalism from the support team. However, the replacement pair had the same issue, which points to a quality problem rather than a one-off defect. While the customer service experience was great, the core issue is the product itself. For the price, I expected significantly better durability.
