It sits in the middle of the trail-short category: long enough to work over knee pads, stretchy enough to pedal in, and built as a single-layer short rather than a heavy-duty gravity short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details are aimed at fit and at carrying things securely. A \u003cstrong\u003emountaineering-inspired adjustable closure\u003c\/strong\u003e handles waist fit, and a \u003cstrong\u003esilicone print on the inner waistband\u003c\/strong\u003e is there to minimize slippage. Storage is a zippered pocket for essentials plus a dedicated stabilization pocket for a phone or a tool, which is the difference between a device that stays put and one that swings against your thigh on rough ground.
