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.

Hey Matt, thanks for sharing your thoughts and for acknowledging our support team! We’ve reached out to you directly via email to better understand your experience and see how we can make this right. We appreciate the honest feedback.

Not very durable

The shorts look cool and fit well, but unfortunately after around 2 weeks of use and 1 wash (was washed at 30C with low rpm), there is a lot of wear, it's got material coming out of them in little balls, like you'd see on an old hoodie or something. I expected them to be much more durable since they are supposed to be climbing shorts

Update: The support team quickly reached out and offered a replacement/refund and said that there was a bad batch of shorts so that's why they got damaged quickly, so changing my review because of that

Hey Fran, thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’ve reached out to you directly to help sort this out. Thank you!

Frustrating experience

Bought these and a pair of Harness pants, but the pants are much bigger, which makes no sense. Be careful with the sizes, they really are a mess. Plus, I bought them during the Black Friday early access, with no free shipping - only to find out that if I had waited until the actual Black Friday weekend, I would've gotten free shipping plus a free gift. So, if you follow the brand and are a loyal customer, you're actually penalised, which makes no sense to me. It really feels like a hoax and I'm very frustrated. Will not buy again.

Hey Marilia,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration with the sizing and promotion. We value your support as a loyal customer and would love the chance to make this right. We’ll reach out to you directly to help resolve everything.

Not for indoor climbing

First impression was good, but unfortunatly fabric is not well suited for intended purpose. When climbing on the textured walls shorts stick to the surfaces of volumes and holds as Velcro. It is the same feeling as you'd get if climbing in a runnig t-shirt. Only after couple sessions it looks pretty bad.

If you plan to use it for hiking or outdoors, it still might be a great choice.

Update: Experience with the support was positive. Hope you can fix the problem with the model as it has good potential.

Hey Fedor, thanks for sharing your experience and for giving the shorts a try. We’ll be passing your feedback along to our product team as we keep refining our fabrics and construction for better wall performance. We’d also like to take a closer look and make things right for you, so we’ve reached out to you directly. Thanks again for your support!

10/10 climber shorts

The Crag shorts are the perfect climber shorts. They are super comfortable, very flexible and beautifully stylish. Would highly recommend.

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.

Way too small

I bought other pants from Rungne and they fit me great, so i bought the same size, but its way too small, so i cant wear them. The issue is that exchange is another 580CZK, so its almost half of the price.

Hey Petr,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Harness Shorts didn’t fit as expected.

We’ll reach out to you directly to figure out the best way to sort this out and make sure you’re taken care of.

Not as tear resistant as advertised

I purchased 3 pairs of Harness Shorts because I was expecting a durable and abrasion-resistant product from a company specialising in climbing apparel, especially since it is advertised as "tear-resistant". However, after 1-2 weeks of light use and a single wash in the washing machine (30°, 900 rpm), the fabric already starts to show noticeable signs of wear. Therefore, I unfortunately have to return the other two pairs.

Hey Florian,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re sorry to hear that the Harness Shorts didn’t meet your expectations for durability. We understand how important it is for climbing apparel to be strong and reliable, and we take your concerns seriously. We’ll forward this to our product development team to review for future improvements.

We’ll reach out to you to sort this out and make sure you're taken care of.

Really nice pair of shorts.

I bought a couple of pairs of shorts in a recent sale, these were one of them. I really like the feel of the material and the fit, although they're tight they don't feel restrictive at all.

Pockets are a good depth, only issue is after 1 wash the material has become excessively worn. They almost look like a really old and worn jumper that's got the material coming off in little fluff balls. I've worn them twice, washed them once. No rips yet, but surprised at how they've not lasted long in that sense.

Hey Aaron, Thanks for your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear the fabric didn’t hold up as expected after just one wash. That’s definitely not the kind of durability we aim to deliver. We’ve reached out to you directly and passed your note along to our product team so they can look into this further. Really appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Great present for my bf

I bought these as a present for my bf and he absolutely loves them! I ordered M first (he’s 173cm, 72kg), and they were quite a tight fit, so we switched them to L and they are amazing (he needs a belt, but the larger fit is much nicer). The customer service was great, everything was done very quickly and efficiently.

Opinion on the harness pants

Subtle things like different stichting across the crotch area to give more stretch and flexibility in the pants, to the nice fit but the ability to slide over the legs while moving make these pants like no other. I have found it hard to climb in long pants until I ordered these pants in the mint green and grey colours. The mint green pants also go nicely with the beige boulder heads club tee as the skeleton man is the same colour as the pants, making a good green and beige colour scheme. Overall, theses are fashionable, work well on the boulder wall and outside, and are the perfect pants for anyone who’re looking to dive into climbing.

Nice shorts, late delivery

2 shipment, 2 months and diligently surveillance of the package to ensure it arrived. Not impressed.

Hey Annja! We’re glad you liked the shorts! That said, we completely understand how frustrating the long delivery process must have been. Thank you for your patience and for keeping an eye on things to ensure they arrived. We’ll be reaching out to you directly to follow up and make sure we do better for you next time.

Am I even wearing pants?!

Best shorts I've ever had!! After 5 minutes I forget I'm wearing it, that's how smooth and strechy it feels. Wouldn't want any other shorts anymore ever!

Not so great

I really wanted to like these shorts. I like Magnus and was am happy to support him, and even at a discount they were quite expensive.

The good: Fast service and an easy site to navigate. The shorts arrived quickly. The fabric has a nice hand and feels comfortable even in the heat. The shorts appear to be very well made with one exception that I will describe below. I also like the length, the rear pockets and the zippered phone pocket. The front pockets are seem designed to accept your hands easily—other shorts are so pinched that it can be difficult to get your hands in them but with these it’s easy.

The bad: The zipper on the fly catches halfway down; it appears to me (non expert) that this may be a consequence of the design for generally these shorts seem exceptionally well sewn. This is irritating! More importantly, the fit is…peculiar. I like the length and they fit well around my hips or bum, but the waist seems to loosen up as I wear them (particularly when active climbing or working out) such that the shorts start to slide down and I’m continually pulling them up. Yet, when I first put them on (after washing them), the fit feels good. No, I haven’t used a belt. Notably the sizing is unlike any I’ve experienced here in the US—all of my other shorts and pants are size Medium or waist 32. My waist actually measures 34”—I know this sort of “fake” sizing is common place at least here. Following the helpful sizing instructions on the website, I learned that I should order a size Large or even Extra Large (actual recommendation depended on which sizing process I used). I ordered Large with some trepidation but this was the right size, neither too large nor too small. This, plus the falling down issue, makes me wonder about the cut or design. FWIW, I’m not Magnus but I have a flat belly, slim hips and not much of a bum, a body type that usually seems to fit clothes for athletic types pretty well.

Less important: The front pockets don’t inspire confidence that things will stay inside them when you’re active particularly climbing. Of course it’s debatable whether you should entrust critical objects to open pockets anyway AND I emphasize that I didn’t ever experience a phone or keys or anything else falling out.

Hope this helps…

Bra shorts!

Veldig bra stoff og passform. Litt minus fordi mobilen lett detter ut av lomme. Kunne vært en lårlomme, eller glidelåslomma kunne vært litt større for å kunne putte mobilen der.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're glad you like the material and fit. Your feedback about the pocket is noted, and we'll look into options for improving it in the future.
