Why We Built The Backcountry Wasatch Adventure Bike Short
"Beefy CORDURA® seat panels that are still stretchy and breathable! No more cheeky tearspun intendedwhen straddling over fallen trees and going for a butt-slide assist down a steep trail."Gearhead® Expert Jo
Head down the road less traveled while wearing the versatile Backcountry Wasatch Adventure Bike Short, built for our female hikers, climbers, and all-around adventurers seeking optimal mobility, protection, and quick-dry performance during their adventures. We built this short with a rugged 4-way stretch construction that conforms to our body shape while providing the mobility we need to scramble over any trail obstacle or conquer a new heel hook move. We also added CORDURA® overlay panels, offering abrasion resistance to protect us from scratches, and 50+ UPF protection for confidence in the sun.

So comfy!

These shorts are super comfortable. The high waistband is flattering and doesn't bind. Two things could be improved: the leg openings are too loose to not ride up when actually using these as bike shorts. A smaller opening and maybe some grippy silicone lining would do the trick. The other problem is that the seams on the waistband have little stretch and break when you are pulling the shorts on or off. Stretchy thread or a different kind of seam would help! I would absolutely buy more of these if Backcountry updated these two areas!

I received this product as part of the Backcountry creator program. They fit well, although the waist doesn't have quite as much stretch as some other shorts, so keep that in mind if you are between sizes. I love the pockets and moveability of these shorts. Very comfy.

This fabric is very soft and smooth. I was pleasantly surprised that the abrasion resistant fabric is just as stretchy and as the main body fabric. These were great for running and the pockets held my large phone in place. I am super excited to wear these all summer for trail running and hiking.
