Description of Sombrio NFluence Mountain Bike Short - Men's:
The Sombrio N-Fluence FRD Short maximizes freeride style and freeride function, to exert maximum force on the mountain and your audience. Full stretch nylon construction promotes mobility and lets you rub up on rocks, roots, and groupies without abrasion. A seamless crotch puts chafe in the dumpster, not all up in your boys. Multiple pockets hold keys, gloves, and groping hands…preferably not your own.
I got the chocolate color. These are not quite as soft as the Wildcards which are my favorite shorts, but the fit on these is similar. The over the knee is nice for DH days which fits easily over knee pads like my 661 Kyle Straits and are fine if you have a bit of pedalling. These are soft yet really tough. The shorts are super light as well. Keep in mind there is no chamois, so if you need one, just throw on a pair of cycling shorts under these. The fit is pretty good.
At 50% off, these are nearly impossible to beat, a great pair of shorts for the bold as the colors are exactly that, BOLD! I cant wait to get these out for some more abuse and "testing" :)
