PTARMIGAN2: stretch shorts designed for hiking and climbing

A summer day on a rocky trail, followed by a climbing route in the late afternoon: that’s exactly what the PTARMIGAN2 is made for. Shorts that move with your legs, stay cool and stand up to rock abrasion.

4-way stretch that moves with you on big steps

The recycled polyamide and elastane knit stretches in all four directions. In practice, whether you’re taking a big step onto a high ledge, hooking a heel or climbing out of a slab, there’s no pulling at the crotch. At 192 grams, you’ll forget you’re wearing them after the first few miles, and they dry quickly after crossing a stream.

Reinforcements in high-friction areas and four practical pockets

Stretch, water-repellent reinforcements protect your seat, thighs and knees—the three areas that take a beating when you sit on a boulder or lean against the wall. For storage, there are two hand pockets, a thigh pocket on the right and a back patch pocket, all zippered so nothing falls out when you stand up. The belt loops let you wear the belt of your choice.

The garment in detail

2 poches repose-main

Les mains s'y glissent à plat pour se réchauffer en marchant, sans jamais serrer au poignet ni à la paume.

poche cuisse droite

Se situe sur le devant de la jambe, accessible en marchant sans jamais ralentir l'allure du groupe.

poche fesse droite

Se situe à l'arrière du bassin, fermée pour un objet plat qui ne gêne jamais une fois assis longtemps.

poches zippées

Se ferment complètement pour garder les objets en place, même en terrain accidenté ou en descente.

ceinture à passants

Accueillent une sangle ou un baudrier autour de la taille, sans jamais glisser en marchant ou en grimpant.

PERFORMANCES

UPF 50+ protection from the fabric construction, not chemical treatment

On an exposed ridge or a south-facing ledge in the middle of July, the sun beats down just as much on your thighs as on your shoulders. The PTARMIGAN2 knit blocks UV rays thanks to its dense weave, at 175 g/m², not a product applied to the surface. The difference is tangible: this protection won’t wash out or wear off over the seasons, unlike a conventional UV-resistant finish that fades after a few dozen machine washes. The fabric also remains soft and lightweight, far from the stiffness often associated with highly protective materials. A good choice for long days at altitude, where glare from pale rock adds to your exposure.

200 g/m² reinforcements at the seat, thighs, and knees: the areas that wear first

Hiking shorts always wear out in the same places: the seat, when you sit on a granite boulder for a break, and the knees, when you brace yourself against the rock face. Lagoped uses a denser reinforcement fabric in these areas, at 200 g/m² compared with 175 g/m² for the rest of the shorts, woven and dyed in Isère. It stays stretchy, so it doesn’t restrict knee movement, and it’s water-repellent without PFAS: the morning dew on the grass or a patch of brambles on the way out won’t soak through straight away. This targeted reinforcement adds durability without making the whole garment heavier, which is how the shorts stay at 192 grams.

PTARMIGAN2, the first base layer for your lower body in the Lagoped system

Did you know? The rock ptarmigan, our totem animal, changes its plumage with the seasons: white in winter to blend into the snow, it fluffs up its feathers when the cold sets in and sheds them as soon as temperatures rise. It never carries more than it needs.

PTARMIGAN2 serves as a first base layer for your lower body: worn next to the skin, it wicks away sweat during exercise and dries quickly. In stable, warm weather, it works on its own. When the weather turns, its close fit and compact size in your pack make it easy to wear with thin leggings underneath or waterproof overtrousers on top.

Fit & support

Active Fit PTARMIGAN2 cut: women’s shorts that never restrict movement

PTARMIGAN2 comes in an Active Fit cut for women. It sits close to the body without feeling tight, following the hips and thighs while leaving room at the knees.

Shorts that stay in place under a harness

The belt loops sit under the harness without adding bulk, and the zipped pockets stay flat against the leg while climbing. Nothing twists or rides up.

Wear them on their own or over leggings

In summer, wear them directly against the skin. In between seasons, they fit easily over thin technical leggings for chilly morning approaches, without constricting the waist or thighs.

Coupe Active Fit

Coupe ajustée à la taille et aux cuisses, plus dégagée au niveau du genou pour ne jamais freiner le geste technique. Le bas de jambe reste étroit pour rentrer facilement dans une chaussure de randonnée ou de ski. L'équilibre entre maintien et liberté de mouvement.
