Flatiron Short keeps pace from morning trail runs to alpine adventures with stretch and weather resistance

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve been wearing the Flatiron Short on everything from quick sunrise runs to fast-paced summit pushes. The stretch feels great and never limits my stride, and the DWR sheds light moisture without a hitch. It’s light, comfortable, and tough enough for any terrain I’ve thrown at it."

When we lace up for a quick lap before work or dial in pacing on a long weekend mountain run, the Black Diamond Flatiron Short keeps us moving with lightweight comfort and zero distractions. Built with stretch nylon and a PFC-free DWR finish, it’s made to flex with every step while shedding light moisture and trail debris with ease.

The elastic waistband and drawcord keep the fit secure through elevation gains and fast descents, while an inseam gusset boosts mobility for high steps and technical scrambles. A zippered rear pocket stashes gels, a phone, or even a compact headlamp, and reflective trim gives us some visibility when we're out past dusk. Whether we're chasing vert or just chasing daylight, the Flatiron Short moves with us.

Survived the AT

Switched to these shorts on the Appalachian Trail after a pair of the Distance shirts ripped at the crotch. Hiked in them every day and they held up no problem, survived the northern half of the trail with lots of butt sliding on rocks and twigs/brambles/etc. grabbing at them for 1,000+ miles. Very solid shorts, love ‘em to death. Only complaint is the zipper pull for the back waist pocket has fallen off, but I don’t often use that pocket anyways, zipper still works.
