I've heard a lot about these shorts and had to try for myself. Finally a pair of shorts that don't ride up! They have little beads that hold the shorts in place. Took them on a test hike of 4000ft gain and no movement at all! I'm going to need these in more colors.

The perfect length short. Not too short where it rolls up, not too long where you feel like a dork.

The best fitted trail shorts. Need I say more? They're my go to training and racing shorts that provide all the pockets and non of the riding up or chafing.
