Made with highly breathable, stretchy fabric for hammer rides, hot days and backcountry missions the Patagonia Dirt Roamer Women's Bike Shorts are built bike specific, but look great when you hop off your two wheels. These have a 12½" inseam and were designed to pair with (but are sold separately from) the Patagonia Dirt Roamer Liner Shorts. With just the right length to mesh with your pads, these go over the top of most pads for hip to shin coverage. No bulk welded seams reduce a little weight but more importantly allow the shorts to stretch as one garment thus eliminating chafing spots while you’re in the saddle. With a curved waistband that follows the natural shape of your hips and an adjustable two-sided OppoSet® waistband to hold comfortably throughout a ride you can concentrate on the trail.. not on fussing with your clothes. Very clever pass-through pocket access pairs with the thigh pockets on the Dirt Roamer liner shorts, but these have their own zip pockets for carrying essentials too. Tailored specifically for women MTB riders these durable shorts even have a DWR water repellent coating for those stream crossings and mud spatters. A short to get out there and ride in!
