One Industries Vapor shorts


THESE SHORTS ARE made from a heavy, silky feeling fabric that’s smooth to wear but does quickly feel warm when the sun comes out.

There are angled mesh inserts on the thighs and across the back, along with zipped front vents, though these are short and tucked away on the inside leg seam – presumably this saves costs, but it means the vents aren’t very effective. Again, casual bagginess off the bike means there’s too much material once you’re riding, so although we liked the length and leg cut of these shorts, the fit through the hips and front sends them down the rankings. As does the quality, which is really only average for the relatively high cost. We’d happily forgo the lens cleaner in the pocket for a little more refinement everywhere else.

PRICE 140$
