What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"These are my go-to shorts for hot trail days. The fabric is light and soft, and they don’t flap around or snag. I love the shorter inseam for better mobility on the bike, and the zip pocket keeps essentials secure. They pair great with a liner when I want padding."When temps rise and long climbs call, we reach for the Giro Arc Short Mid. Designed for hot-weather mountain biking and gravel adventures, this lightweight, bluesign® approved short delivers all the comfort and mobility we want—without the extra bulk. The shortened 5-inch inseam offers a sporty, feminine fit perfect for riders who don’t need knee pad coverage, while the quiet ripstop fabric lets us hear the wind and trail, not our kit. The DWR-treated fabric sheds light moisture and trail grit, and practical features like a secure zip pocket and waist adjustment tabs help us fine-tune fit and function for every ride. Whether we’re chasing singletrack or exploring gravel roads, the Arc Short Mid keeps us cool, comfortable, and ready to roll.
