Near Perfect Trail Shorts

Top of the line design and execution make for a fantastic pair of baggies. Favorite features include the BOA size adjuster which allows the perfect fit at the waist without resorting to ratchets or buckles at the front where you're hinging at the waist. Pockets fit phones well, the inseam length is perfect as is the opening for pads, and includes a liner. If the liner was removable, that would make these perfect. Can't comment on durability yet, but expect no issues there as Pearl Izumi products have a great reputation for quality. I fully subscribe to the 'buy better, buy less' philosophy and appreciate the core sustainability values of these products.

Men's Elevate Shorts

High quality and great fit. BOA system works for fine tuning

I Have Enjoyed These More Than I Thought

i got these on deep discount or i would most likely have not bought them. the light color does show dirt but i do not care. the chamois is top notch but is attached and not removable, i cut it out jus to make things easier. i wish it was removable with snaps and such. the pockets are perfect for carrying phone or keys and zip shut and do not interfere while riding. the knob for the Boa is inthe way if you wear a fanny pack but fine with a back pack for me. i am very happy with how comfortable the adjustment is. the shorts run on the long side which is fine with knee pads but without pads catches on your knees

Great Fit And Feel

This is my 3rd pair of these Elevate MTB shorts. The weight and feel is great. Super light with perfect adjustment making them very comfortable for any type of ride. Light and durable!

Good Short, Not Worth The Premium

This is a good, comfortable bike short and the “elite” liner is my absolute favorite of any liner I have used in over a decade of cycling. This being said, I wouldn’t buy these again. The Pearl Izumi Summit short is half the price and I far prefer the fit and all-day comfort of the summit over the Elevate short. So, while the elevate is good, the summit is great and I can’t ignore that fact. The elite liner is a big step up from the select liner though! If you’re looking I recommend buying the elite liner short and summit shell short separately. This is the perfect combo in my opinion.

Elevate Shorts

These shorts were great!! Fit is spot on, they are flexable, and the boa idea is awesome.

Elevate Shorts, Excellent Choice!

I have worn these shorts on 4 rides and so far they have been excellent. Very comfortable, fits as expected, appear to be durable and should last many rides.

You'll Want 2 Pair

These shorts are AMAZING, just, wow. Extremely comfortable for all day riding with perfect stretch in all the right areas, the lazer cut venting is great for keeping the undercarriage cool, BOA waist band really helps dial in the fit, reverse pockets are genius--keeping your phone, etc. low and to the side of your quads; Pearl Izumi has really nailed it with these shorts.

Good Shorts Run Large

I like the shorts, they feel to run a bit large and with the BOA lacing being the only option for tightening there is a smaller window for error when sizing. Also the liner is not removable which is kind of a bummer that I can't wear the shorts two days in a row with a different liner.

Sweet! Shorts

Fabric is super light, the seams are lazer cut and the boa system adjusts well. These feel like my high end surf trunks, yet work super well with the included liner. Length is on the enduro side and the sizing is similar to other Pearl Izumi shorts I own. Really think these are worth the money, just don't expect to think the liner is as great as the shorts. Fog colorway is pretty awesome!

Love The Shorts, Liner Too Tight

I have a 29" waist and bought the 28" shorts and they fit great, with some room to spare that was quickly customized to fit precisely with the BOA dial. The shorts are well ventilated and look great. The two things I don't like are (1) the liner on the 28" shorts is very tight on me. I wish it were possible to buy the liner separately in a larger size, I would have got 30" on the liner. (2) The liner is sewn into shorts by two fabric strips, one on either side. In other Pearl Izumi shorts I've had the liner snapped in and could be removed. I can't fathom why these can't be removed. They end up getting all twisted around when you wash the shorts. Either sew the liners all the way in or make them removeable.

Love The Shorts But .. . . . . .

these are great shorts - have rode in them a few times. Issue I have is you guys put them on sale two days after I paid full price. Be curious to see if and how you respond to this.

Awesome Shorts

shorts are comfortable and feel great, the picture makes them look dark though, and they are light grey, only reason why 3 star
