For reliable performance on the up and the down, we pull on the Patagonia Dirt Craft Bike Short. On the climb, the padded liner prevents pressure points and chafing in the saddle, while its treated material wicks away moisture and fights off odors. On the descent, the stretch fabrication follows our lead, leaning and bending to our will, while the adjustable waist locks in our fit and the zippered pocket secures our phone.
