The ideal combination of protection, style and versatility for gravel riding, adventure and bike packing. Wear alone or over padded inner shorts.

When you venture away from the pure Tarmac your kit and clothing demands change. These shorts use a stretch woven fabric, completely new to GOREWEAR, that has allowed us to create a functional all day riding short, with a stream-lined silhouette. Thanks to its stretch we can use a closely tailored fit whilst maintaining complete freedom for your pedaling movement. A rear panel provides water resistant protection from wheel spray, helping to keep your shorts dry and grit free.

Fit and quality seem very good

Fit is good for my 31W and largish thighs. Have not worn them on the bike yet but have used them for yoga and lounging. Will update when used on bike . Replaced zoic shorts whose waitband stretched out after multiple years and lots of use.

Perfect Fit!

Love the cut & fit of these shorts! Finally, a MTB/bikepacking overshort that doesn’t make me look like a bro shredding laps in the bike park. The only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is that they’re quite noisy! I’ve only worn them on one ride so far and didn’t wash them beforehand, so I’m hoping the material softens after a wash & I stop hearing a “zipzipzip” noise with every pedal stroke. Other than that, really happy with my purchase & now want another pair or two

Great over-short!

Lightweight & comfortable. A great short for those rides where you don't want to hang out in your bib shorts only.

Greatest shorts for outdoors and everyday use.

These shorts are amazing with pockets galore and a useful built in belt like system. I’ve taken them on hikes galore and they are still in great shape
