"Love that these shorts are long for better coverage and that there's extra space for my knee pads at the opening. No weird gap, no snags while I'm pedaling." Gearhead Expert Alex
Our Backcountry Empire Bike Short was inspired by one of the rowdiest descents in our backyard and built to excel on the technical high-alpine terrain of Park City's seemingly endless trail system. The 4-way stretch fabric ensures there's no limit to how much we can move around the bike as we navigate exposed ridgelines, while the longer inseam provides added coverage and a seamless fit with our kneepads. Plus, the adjustable waist with silicone grippers keeps our shorts in place no matter how gnarly the trail gets.
