Ambato Short – Men’s

Meet the Ambato Short – Men’s by Cotopaxi—a casual, cotton-rich short with just enough stretch for spontaneous detours. It’s equal parts everyday workhorse and weekend-ready staple.

Key Features: Classic waistband with belt loops; zip fly; hand pockets and back pockets; and a versatile length suitable for both city wear and light outdoor use. Cotopaxi describes Ambato as a sturdy short with two-way stretch that won’t hold you back.

Fabric & Feel: The Ambato Short – Men’s by Cotopaxi is built from durable cotton with a touch of spandex for mobility. It feels more like a traditional chino short, but with adventure-ready comfort and ease of movement.

Why It’s Good: By designing casual pieces with durability in mind, Cotopaxi helps reduce the number of shorts you need to replace season after season. The brand’s B Corp status and impact through the Cotopaxi Foundation further support community-focused projects and a more responsible outdoor industry.

Fit & Care: Regular, straight fit. Choose your normal waist size; length and cut are designed to be easy to style with tees or button-downs. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, and warm iron if needed—just skip bleach to protect the fabric and color.

Style Notes: Pair the Cotopaxi Ambato Short – Men’s with a casual woven shirt and sneakers for evenings out, or with a simple tee and sandals for laid-back weekend days.
