Pricey, but good enough that I bought a second pair. I have several pairs of these shorts and regularly ride flowy and technical trails. It is hard to see from the picture, but the inside of the legs is a mesh material that breaths very well. This helps keep things cool when you might be wearing several layers of clothing (shorts, padded liner, etc.)
Built tough, great color. These shorts seem extremely sturdy with reinforced stitching and a very tough yet breathably light fabric, but the length was very unexpected. They extend to just about the middle of my calf. Which really isn’t a fault I guess, just used to shorts coming above my knee once I’m in the saddle. I don’t really like stuff touching my knees while I’m riding. Cuffed them up a couple of times, so no harm no foul. Other than that these are fantastic extremely high-quality shorts. Not very…
Awesome pair of shorts Awesome pair of shorts, def a more roomy/baggy fit in the butt then other cycling clothing. I find on most MTB baggy pants fit incredibly small .. even if you get a XL or XXL they fit very very small, especially in the quads/butt area … these fit very well, crotch is short so won’t snag on saddle but overall a more relaxed fit, with all the strechy materials in there it fits roomy but well. Awesome shorts, will buy another backup pair
