Very Lightweight & Comfortable

Super lightweight material. Really nice without the stupid zipper. Very good closure system. Way better than other iterations of this short!

Looks Great, Fits Great, Feels Great, Durability Issues

Same issue as with the jersey: look and feel is amazing but there are already little pulls/runs in the fabric after 5-6 rides. No falls and very light brushes with vegetation along the trail. Hopefully they hold up.

My Go To. Love The New Longer Length

My go to trail short. Just the right amount of stretch. Perfect length just covers the knee on those sunny days. Extremely breathable, look great for the after ride beer and feel like all day comfort with a super soft shell like feel with zero noise when pedaling. These are true to size unlike some other brands where I always have to size up.

Nice Shorts, But Needs A Proper Fly

My wife remarked that the shorts look like the fly is open. I told her there is no fly -- it just has a flap of fabric that doesn't lay flat. The shorts need either a zipper or maybe velcro fly to keep that fabric flap laying flat so that it looks closed up.

Wrong Fit For Me.

Too big, long and baggy, but maybe I'm just an old man. I'm in-between 32 and 34 but in a technical sport fit matters a lot. That said, I love my Pearl Izumi products and will continue to buy more. I ride both road and mountain.

Pretty Darn Good!

I wanted to get some “shorts” to ride in. These fit the bill! Coupled with the minimalist padded liners I use these on the MTB trails regularly. Off the trails without the liner I wear these around as regular shorts. I am at the low end of the waist range for Medium so these are just a touch loose, but not uncomfortably so. I would recommend them and have to friends.

Roomy And Stylish

Great fit and look. Quality that is always expected with Pearl Izumi.

Good Product. Mtb Short Is

Good product. MTB short is the best cycling material I have ever worn. The fit was too big for me in the waist as a XL short. I returned it for a large short size.

Lacks Durability, Strange Pocket Design

Lightweight and good fit, love the moto closure. However, incredibly delicate. Tore them on the second ride by brushing up against a pedal while offloading my bike. Can’t say the “suicide door” pocket design/location is a good one, as your phone will continuously slap your leg on a ride.

It’s A Good Short

Great short. Fit is nice. The length does cover knee pads. The material doesn’t soak up to quickly in humidity and the short feels lightweight on the body. The moto style buckle makes it easy to fit the waste.

Shorts

Great quality and selection. Got here in a couple days and i love them

Buy Them!!

Hands-down the best MTB shorts I have ever owned! So light, tough, breathable and stretchy.

A Ripper Of A Short

Great lightweight fabric, prefect length even if wearing knee armor. The moto-style waist closure is light but functional and solid. The only thing missing is vent hole perforations on the inside thigh and mesh pockets like the summit pro shorts.

Only Tried Them On

I have several summit pro shorts and they are my favorite. So when I saw the summit in camouflage, had to get a pair. I’ve found that the summit pro shorts fit better in a 30 vs 32 so that’s what I ordered. Sadly the 30 was too small so I returned it for a 32. Hopefully the 32 isn’t huge. Construction wise I wasn’t excited by the ratcheting buckle, seems complicated and bulky.
