"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I pulled the GOREWEAR Endure Shorts out on a fall ride where the forecast kept flip-flopping between clear and rainy and I ended up hitting both. The GORE-TEX PACLITE Plus construction kept me dry without making me feel like I was riding in a plastic bag, and when the sun came back out I stuffed them into the stow pocket and barely noticed the extra weight.""There's a particular kind of ride that starts under grey skies with a fifty-fifty forecast and ends up being one of the best ones of the season. The GOREWEAR Endure Shorts are built for those rides, the ones where you commit to going anyway and the weather rewards or punishes you for it. Lightweight, packable, and genuinely protective, these shorts remove the weather from the equation so the only variable left is how hard you want to push. GOREWEAR used GORE-TEX PACLITE Plus technology to build a 2. 5-layer construction that is durably waterproof, totally windproof, and breathable enough to handle real output in cool and wet conditions. The pre-shaped hip area follows the geometry of a cyclist in motion rather than standing still, and the adjustable drawcord waistband with silicone gripper keeps everything exactly where you put it over long efforts. A reinforced abrasion-resistant seat panel adds durability where the shorts take the most punishment, while reflective details extend your visibility when the light gets flat and grey."
