What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I recommend these for riders who want a no-frills short that performs in the heat. They stretch well, stay comfortable on long rides, and don’t feel restrictive when things get technical."Whether we want to save some precious grams and show a little thigh or go from trail to town without changing our shorts, our Backcountry Slickrock 9in Short sits high atop our list of double-duty bike shorts. The 4-way stretch fabric and close-to-the-body fit give us full freedom of movement for tackling technical high alpine rock gardens and sandstone slickrock descents, while the integrated belt and waistband gripper ensure that our shorts stay put, no matter how rocky the trail gets.Shop the Full MTB Collection
