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.)
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
My go-to for technical riding Great shorts – they’re my go-to for mountain biking, especially if I plan on wearing knee pads. Speaking of knee pads, they fit nicely over the top of my POC pads, without riding up or being so big at the opening that they annoyingly hit the calf.
