Description of Sombrio Wildcard Mountain Bike Short - Men's:
You'll deal out a killer downhill hand when you're wearing the Sombrio Wildcard Short. This three-season freeride short appears casual at first glance, but thanks to a weather-and-abrasion-resistant Galaxy synthetic weave, it's ready to hit gnarly singletrack in conditions that send amateurs packing. Thigh vents and a wicking mesh interior eliminate the greenhouse effect, and a reinforced seamless crotch ensures comfort in the saddle. Zip hand pockets cure deadly aww-shit-lost-my-wallet syndrome.
Bottom Line: Like regular shorts with super MTB powers.
I absolutely love these shorts! They are soft and comfortable, but durable! These look great when out on the trail, but do not look out of place at the bar after the ride. These are a freeriders dream. They are a bit long but I like that as it covers most of your knee pads. The front zips help keep things cool when you are actually out pedaling in these. The soft fabric allows you to comfortably pedal all day in them. Make sure to have a pair of chamois shorts if you do as with all Sombrio shorts, these is no liner to these.
My only complaint about these shorts is that they are only available in one color as I would have a few more pairs if other colors were offered, but looking at the 2010 version on Sombrio's site, it looks like a new color for next year. These shorts are super comfy, light weight, durable, pretty inexpensive, and cool looking on or off the trail. I bought these at full retail and I was stoked, I will be ordering another pair soon now that they are on sale.
