It is very easy to manufacture ‘heritage’ and ‘cool’ these days and at Countryside Ski & Climb we make it our business to seek out the genuine from the phoney as great ideas are worth spreading. Inspired by the courier bags the NYC cycle messengers used to use in the 70’s, Rob Honeycutt, a cycle messenger himself in 1989 San Francisco, took the leap to start manufacturing his own bags in a backstreet garage.
Patagonia - Men's Retro Grade Shorts
Tough enough for the sick-o chimney pitch, comfortable enough to spend the night when you top-out after dark.
Retro Grades have a soft yet durable blend of 98% organic cotton and 2% spandex that stays cool and slides smoothly over skin. A gusseted crotch and articulation at the reinforced knees allows you to move unchallenged. Built with a soft waist (that has an internal drawstring) and harness-compatible belt loops, they feature a 5-pocket design that includes a security pocket on the right side seam. Our longest shorts: inseam (size M) is 16". Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Programme.
Features:
- Soft, yet durable organic cotton/spandex blend stretches and slides easily against skin
- 5-pocket styling in a relaxed fit; grown-on waistband for harness comfort
- Internal synthetic drawstring; gusseted crotch

- Double-layer fabric at the articulated knees

Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is produced using techniques that are healthy and safe for the environment and the people who work and live near the fields where it’s grown. Organic cotton is never grown with synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or defoliants, nor is it genetically modified in any way.
