"We will let you know when we get the new ones"
Pretty good fit but needs improvement
"Needs a little more waist space"
Shell short
"shorts look and feel great. Certainly would buy another pair!"
Good so far
"Love the color and fit of these shorts. Not a huge fan of the plastic belt closure. Time will tell if that will hold up. Use the measuring charts on their website because these products dont fit like normal clothes."
Love these shorts!
"Comfortable shorts, great for mountain biking. Runs just like the website advertised and are comfortable and light!"
Great concept, but...
"The fabric is light and stretchy! Great length for biking and hiking. Color (fuschia) was perfect. The website said the shorts run small but when I ordered the size up, they were huge. Beware - there is a gusseted front with no zipper. I didn't read the fine print prior to ordering. The buckle system is heavy relative to the fabric. A zipper with two light snaps would have been a better option."
Great fit and super comfortable!
"I’ve had three rides in these shorts and I’m very happy with the quality, fit, wicking capability and the blue color is beautiful!"
Nice
