Description
Flattering fitting shorts that deftly hides their technical pedigree when about town. Falling just above the knee, they avoid the quintessential enduro look, yet keep cool on muggy logging road climbs or hot days at the beach. The perfect shorts to carry you through the trails and sun-soaked social obligations of summer.
- Made of lightweight nylon and spandex that's durable and stretchy.
- Quick dry fabric sheds mud and rain.
- Gusseted crotch allows for full range of movement.
- Zip fly with 2 snap closures for a secure fit without a pressure point over your stomach.
- 2 front pockets with one internal drop-in pocket.

Our next to skin fit that contours the body for no distractions

Our close to body fit with a low profile silhouette for ease of movement

Our standard, slightly off body fit for unrestricted comfort

Our roomy, off body fit for maximum comfort and easy layering
