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.
