The Traverse XC is the slim and trim sequel to our original Traverse MTB short. The XC is cut just above the knee and is bit more tailored throughout resulting in a lighter and more ventilated short. The 4-way stretch, American-made fabric is quick-drying and wicking. Never slick while wet, and always dry for the next ride.A contoured waist belt with single-handed adjustment ensures fit at all times. The lightweight, mil-spec stretch fabric allows for a full range of movement without sacrificing durability or water-repellency.Dual cargo pocket placement keeps items from conflicting with pedal motion and bike handling. Other features include custom aluminum hardware, Prym snaps, and YKK zippers throughout.The Traverse XC runs a little small. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
