You need your freeride shorts to be durable enough to handle more than a few friendly encounters with trail furniture, but still able to move with you as you take big hits and blast through destructive terrain. Sombrio's Pursuit Shorts feel featherweight to the touch with a breathable polyester and spandex construction that belies their durability. Reinforced side panels can handle crashes without weighing the shorts down, while perforations on the back of the shorts keep much-needed air moving while you pedal, and zippered side pockets give you room to stash plenty of snacks for long rides. With an inseam long enough for enduro and DH rides, the Pursuit has a forgiving cut that can easily accommodate pads and body armor, and Sombrio includes a clever adjustable hook-and-loop waistband to make sure the shorts stay where they're supposed to while you're standing out of the saddle on descents.
