GOREWEAR Women's SWIFTRIDE Short Tight in Black - Size: M/8-10

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"These pants are my go-to for aggressive trail riding. The stretch-woven fabric is both durable and flexible, allowing me to pedal without restriction, while the tapered leg keeps the fabric clear of my cranks. The PI Dry® treatment sheds light rain and mud, and the laser-perforated venting keeps things breathable on long climbs. The zippered Trail Access™ pockets are positioned perfectly for easy reach without interfering with movement. Whether I’m sending big features or building new lines, these pants can handle it all."Rugged and breathable, these MTB pants are designed for big rides, bike park laps, and long days on the trail. A durable stretch-woven fabric moves effortlessly while pedaling, while reinforced knee panels add extra toughness for hard-hitting terrain. PI Dry® C0 technology provides a PFAS-free water-repellent finish, shedding light moisture without sacrificing airflow. The tapered leg stays clear of our cranks, and there's plenty of room for kneepads when taking on technical descents. Laser-perforated venting enhances breathability, keeping us comfortable even on grueling climbs. Dual zippered Trail Access™ pockets sit at the back of the legs, keeping essentials secure and easy to reach. Whether tackling rugged trails or sculpting new lines, these pants are built to perform.

A knicker offering excellent value for money, to increase the comfort of every ride.

We like the Castelli Velocissima 3 Knicker for late spring and early summer rides where we want a bit of extra leg coverage. A flattering cut, a stitch and elastic-free flat waistband, and high-modulus stretch Lycra ensure a comfortable fit around the legs. Its KISS Air2 Donna seat pad provides optimal padding for long days in the saddle without too much bulk.

Whether we're riding in the PNW or braving the month of March here in Utah, the Fernflow WINDSTOPPER Pant keeps us comfortable with versatile protection for handling everything from the cold to a light drizzle. WINDSTOPPER windproofing and breathability increase comfort, and side-zipped vents prevent overheating with easy access to knee protection, too. Durable water-resistant treatment and taped seams on the back panel make for more spray protection, and spacious pockets save room for essential items.
