Full Description
The Patagonia DAS Light Shorts are purpose-built for alpine climbers, ski tourers, and winter mountaineers who demand reliable warmth in a fast-and-light package. Designed to layer effortlessly over snow shells or base pants, these ultralight shorts are ideal for quick insulation during descents, rest stops, belays, or summit transitions. The shell and lining are made from 100% recycled 10-denier Pertex Quantum ripstop nylon with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that’s free from intentionally added PFAS, offering lightweight weather protection without compromise. Insulated with 65g of revolutionary PlumaFill synthetic insulation—also 100% recycled—the DAS Light Shorts deliver the packability and loft of down with the crucial benefit of staying warm when wet. Produced in a Fair Trade Certified factory, they’re a sustainable and ethical choice for cold-weather adventurers.
These technical shorts are packed with features designed to optimize performance in severe conditions. Dual full-length side zippers allow easy on/off over boots, harnesses, or bulky layers without the need to remove gear. The elasticized waistband includes a zip fly and snap closure for a secure and comfortable fit, while the internal quilting construction and hung face fabric ensure optimal loft retention and thermal efficiency. PlumaFill insulation mimics the structure of natural down in a continuous filament design, minimizing cold spots and maximizing warmth on exposed thighs. Unisex sizing provides a versatile fit over varied layering systems, and the lightweight construction (just 178g) makes these shorts an essential addition to any alpine layering system. Whether you're bivvying high or braving a frigid belay, the DAS Light Shorts deliver unmatched warmth-to-weight performance.
