Perfect, just what I imagined. Just the right combination of stretchy, spacious, and ergonomic, where they don't look silly but also have plenty of airflow and don't interfere with any movement.
Love the material, color and fit
Great shorts. Seem well made and comfy. A little long for me personally but definitely gonna be wearing them a lot
The new belt is harder to tighten but it stays better in place. The rest is pretty similar, which is a great!
Very high quality fabric, it is a mildly stretchy cotton, and the new closure system is super nice once you realize how it was intended to be used. You hook both ends together then synch it to the desired fit. When changing, using restroom, etc, just unclip it, no need to loosen. Then clip back on again. It allows you to keep the fit consistent and locked in. The older closure system would loosen very easily and required constant readjustment as well as being considerably more bulky. And I know I already left a review for these, but I saw an opportunity to point this out when I purchased more pairs. Hope this helps.
The fit was not good for me. I returned them. It seems the rear rise was too short.
Hey Simon! Thanks for sharing your experience, and we’re really sorry the fit didn’t work out for you. Our goal is to make gear that feels just right, and feedback like yours helps us improve. We hope the return process went smoothly, and we'll be reaching out to you shortly to see how we can best support you. We’d love to help you find a better fit next time around.
The quality of these shorts is really good. I had to get small even though I usually wear a medium and have medium high baller pants.
The fit however is really wierd, the buckle to tighten the shorts is very janky, there easily could have been a better way to do that.
The shorts are also quite thick, they feel kinda bulky and not the best for a hot summer day.
Edit: the customer support team reached out to me and offered to cover my tailoring fees to get the shorts adjusted for the best fit. They feel a lot more comfortable now. Definitely the best customer support I have ever seen from a brand.
Great quality shorts with a nice fit as always, quite happy theres new stock. But i liked the old buckle mechanism better, its a bit harder to adjust the belt now.
Top product as always
Rungne’s high baller shorts are great!! Come exactly as shown and are super comfortable to climb in. I need the other colours now. Highly recommended
Love the shorts, they are super comfortable and look great! I love all of the pockets. The only issue is that I now want every color.
Bought these shorts but ordered a size too big .. son-in-law saw ‘em and loved ‘em so he’s wearing a fabulous, really good quality pair of shorts!!!
I got these new shorts that are stylish and nice to climb in. I'm a Swede and hate to admit this about pesky Norwegians, but the fit girl crushers are eyeing me now.
Best Shorts ever had
I absolutely appreciate the two items I’d bought from Rúngne, especially as a first time buyer from this trusted brand. I like that I’d purchased technically the same exact item but one is shorter than the other and when wearing either while at the climbing gym, it’s comfortable and durable for any technique I do to climb. The belt lock and feature to secure the tightness is definitely my favorite feature. The Highballer pants and shorts are a fantastic addition to my climbing wardrobe and most reliable even as comfortable outing wear or simply on the go.
Thank you so very much, Rúngne Team, order fulfillment and Magnus! The shipping was delivered with safety attention, on time and not damaged. The packaging was sealed with care and professionally cleaned. I’m looking forward to shop more on Rugne.com, thank you all again! :)
was surprised to see no zipper but like the pants, 5 star review. love them!
Love the shorts the only weird thing i was the medium was way to tight, I was a large in the shorts but a medium in the same pants, I’m 175cm tall and 32 inch waste, muscular build
material is the best, I wished more shorts would be as comfy as this one! I wasn't sure they would fit, as I'm a big guy, but XXL fits perfect
went up one grade after purchase
Durable, breathable and stretchy, I love them! They were a little bit bigger then anticipated, so I ended up with a medium size. I'm 183cm and 83kg.
