Summer in the mountains – nothing beats it. And with the Katharina shorts, you don’t have to choose between form and functionality. They have both in spades! These longer-cut shorts with a slightly A-line silhouette are made from supple, airy, recycled polyamide for a floaty feminine look. The fabric is also quick drying, crease resistant and effective at wicking sweat quickly. A drawcord adjustment is set in the waistband that is flat format at the front and elasticated at the sides and back, for all-day comfort. Two ventilation slits backed in a mesh panel across the whole back give these shorts extra breathability on hot days when carrying a backpack. And a patch pocket with flap closure is a neat way to store small items you need to keep close at hand. For trekking or hiking from hut to hut, the colours on offer here can be combined to create a range of looks from the more classical to the more sporty.
