One Industries Gamma DH shorts


THE GAMMA DOWNHILL shorts certainly aren't cheap, but the impressive list of features goes some way towards justifying the price tag. A moto style ratchet buckle keeps things snug, while the silicone strip around the waistline holds them perfectly in place when riding.

The tough material has fended off its fair share of crash damage during testing, but the lack of vents makes for a hot ride. The fitted cut is comfy and the shorts are pretty light considering their intended use. There's one zipped pocket at the back that's just about big enough for a smartphone, but having anything more than a lift pass in there doesn't feel good when you're riding.

PRICE  113$

The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
