The straight-cut Sugoi Women’s Greta Short provides flattering protection from sun, dirt, sticks, and bum-gawkers behind you on the singletrack. A removable wicking mesh liner features Sugoi’s RC Pro chamois, which cushions, protects, and ventilates your undercarriage. The short’s Mobil Carbon fabric incorporates bamboo carbon to provide enchanced UV protection and antibacterial properties.
Bottom Line: Stay cool, calm, and collected as you bomb down the trail.
Got these as an alternative to typical show-everything bike shorts, and the removable cycling liner for post-ride celebrations without diaper-behind. Well. The line is removable--if you clip them out. No in/out snaps or buttons. An inside label warns that the somewhat shiny fabric is prone to snags! So forget about mountain-biking in these. And the fit is not loose (though, yes, it is looser than regular bike shorts).
Two front slash pockets that close with little velcro squares (a potential problem with that snaggy fabric); two welt back pockets close with zippers. But, the shorts are tight-fitting enough that the fabric lining the inside front pockets is clearly visible, so I don't know what you'd want to put in them...
The "vicuna" color is closer to an olive than a brown.
The leg opening snaps are cute, but not enough to save these shorts. I'd return them if I could!
