Outdoor Research Freewheel Ride Short - Plus - Women's Black, 1X

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""These are my favorite trail shorts when I want breathable performance that’s still super tough. The higher waistband stays in place while climbing, and the DuraPrint overlay really holds up to scrapes and crashes."" We’ve put in long miles and fast laps in the Outdoor Research Freewheel Ride Short, and it’s the kind of kit that lets us forget about gear and focus on the ride. Designed with input from mountain bikers and trail riders, these shorts feature a bike-specific fit that moves with us through techy switchbacks, uphill grinds, and rowdy descents. The contoured waist with extra rear coverage stays secure in the saddle, while the articulated knees and gusseted crotch mean we never feel restricted. Engineered for demanding use, the 4-way stretch fabric is abrasion-resistant and finished with DuraPrint® overlays at high-wear areas for added longevity. Subtle laser perforations boost airflow, and secure zip pockets keep our essentials close without bulk. From park laps to backcountry trail epics, these shorts are built to handle it all—layered over a liner or chamois, they’re ready for whatever terrain we throw at them."
