Lov these shorts
Super durable and breathable, plus the shorter inseam is great for us stature impaired folk (below 5’8”). Lots of pockets are great too. I even wore them kayaking and loved it there too.

Great MTB shorts
I've used Rapha for years and these new Zoic Ethers are so much better. I'm a convert!

Great for post-ride socializing
These are very good for mid length rides (with chamois, of course), and are nice enough to wear into cafes, stores, etc
