Pearl Izumi Summit Shell Shorts have an abundance of features that make them a great choice for trail riding. They're long enough to eliminate a gap above your kneepads, they shed water with a DWR treatment, and they're cut to let you pedal without snagging on your knees or saddle. On top of that, their pockets are angled backwards, shifting contents more along the side of your legs instead of the top of your thighs. It's the little refinements that'll make these your go-to riding shorts. This model includes a premium liner with a fast-drying chamois pad for even more versatility and comfort.
