Engineered to be the benchmark lightweight trail short, this liner-free version of our Summit Short will earn its place among your favorite gear. The non-elastic waistband provides a minimalist feel and holds these shorts comfortably in place, while external hook-and-loop straps let you dial in the fit on the fly. New Trail Access side pockets are angled backwards, instead of down the front of the thigh, to shift contents comfortably out of the way while pedaling and allow easy accessibility while riding. We have even bonded and angled the leg openings to prevent snagging on knee pads and to keep the shorts off your calves. The durable water repellant coating sheds trail spray and keeps these shorts looking fresh ride after ride. Add a Liner short of your choice, perhaps our full featured and supremely comfortable Cargo Bib Liner short, to complete the package.
