What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Truant Short is my go-to for aggressive trail rides. The relaxed fit and longer inseam pair perfectly with knee pads, and the 4-way stretch moves easily whether I’m climbing switchbacks or sending descents. I love how the DWR finish keeps light moisture out, and the stash pocket is clutch for quick snack access."We head out for the day knowing the Giro Truant Short is built for the long haul. From warm-ups at the trailhead to all-day rides through backcountry singletrack, these shorts move with us, flexing through switchbacks and pedal strokes without missing a beat. Giro’s trail-savvy design includes longer inseams and roomy leg openings, so we're fully covered even when wearing knee pads. The Truant Short is built to last and designed for motion. The 4-way stretch fabric and stretch knit yoke give us extra mobility where it counts, while a DWR coating adds water resistance. We stay comfortable, secure, and ready for anything the trail throws our way.
