The 4-way stretch fabric and close-to-the-body fit give us full freedom of movement for tackling technical high alpine rock gardens and sandstone slickrock descents, while the integrated belt and waistband gripper ensure that our shorts stay put, no matter how rocky the trail gets.

missing my 7inch inseam
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- xl
- Height:
- 5' 10"
- Weight:
- 230
Hey Backcountry! I'm 5'10" with a fairly long torso & short legs. The 7 inch inseam fit me really well. Please bring it back! I ride multiple days a week and i'm constantly digging through my laundry for my shorts. I want to buy more! I mainly ride cross country, and I don't wear knee pads. I don't like fabric pulling on my knees when i'm cycling. Not all MTB riders are hitting the chairlifts, yet the entire industry is putting out 9-12 inch inseams, meant to ride with kneepads, which only caters to one style of rider. Please be the outlier and capture the business of people needing shorter inseams and more interested in the long climbs and epic rides than the jumps and drops.

My new go-to short

These are really a great pair of shorts. They are light, stretchy, and fashionable. They are noticeably more stretchy and lighter than the Zoic shorts I've been wearing for the past year. Definitely would recommend

Amazing all round shorts (7inch version)
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- small

- Weight:

These are my most favourite shorts. I have the 7" version (please bring them back!). I've tried so many competitor brands, not necessarily bike specific but I cannot find something that fits and feels as good as these shorts. I use them for all kinds of sports now because they are so much lighter than normal sports shorts, but really durable. The 7" versions fit like normal shorts, so you can wear them casually too and they look really nice.

I'm happy with my purchase, the fit is great, and I could wear the shorts even if not for mountain biking. They're so comfortable and breathable.

Best riding short!

Love these shorts for mountain biking. The pockets in the front zip close so you can store your car keys without fearing loss. The waist clip is infinitely adjustable so you can get the best fit. Also, the fabric survives crashes, to which I can attest. I have had them for two years and the still look new.

Great shorts
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times

I've used these a few times now and am quite happy with the shorts. I'm not a fan of long, really baggy shorts so these fit the bill perfect for me. Stretchy enough to be comfortable, but not so stretchy that they snag on the saddle. I really like the integrated belt on them too. The Aspen Green color is fantastic!

The Perfect bike pants

I have purchased a few of these and they are awesome. Well made with quality materials, great feel and fit. More importantly, they fit just right, not too tight and not too loose for my preference. These pants were earlier in the $40 to $50 range, however, they are $100 now. That would be my only mark against these bike shorts.

Great summer riding pants
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- L
- Height:
- 5' 10"
- Weight:
- 205
Posted the review just to help people out on fit, as pants for me are a nightmare. I'm 5'10 205 with 27" legs, so in a skinny pants world it's almost impossible to find a good fit. I have 32" waist butnsized up to large just for more room in the thigh, and the choice was right. The fit is good. Rides 2" above my knee and my inseam is 31" Material is very thin, like swim trunks. Stretch is excellent. Which is fine as I'll be riding in hot summer weather. Pockets are small but I only ever put a car key in them, and they zip shut, so I'm fine with it. Just fyi, the vents in the fly area come up pretty high, so if you're not wearing 5" or longer underwear you'll see some skin

Great Shorts
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Medium
- Height:
- 5' 11"
- Weight:

Super light weight and breathable. These shorts feel great and look just as good. There is plenty of room for a chamois but still high enough that you won't catch the crotch on your saddle. I will for sure be buying more of these in the future.
