Gravity Anomaly Long Haul shorts


Made in America? It’s almost unheard of today, but that’s what’s on offer with Gravity Anomaly’s Long Haul shorts. The good news is that these things are a heck of a lot more reliable than the stuff Detroit spat out for so many years. The Long Haul is constructed from a four-ply, military-grade nylon shell that gets double-needle stitching throughout and machine bar tacks at all the stress points. Gravity’s Anomaly, to its credit, backs up all this durability chatter with a lifetime guarantee.

The Long Haul also features seamless construction in the seat area, which, the company contends, reduces the risk of them hanging up on the nose of your saddle. I’m impressed as hell with what the Anomaly is offering. The fit is excellent – it’s easy to adjust the sizing, and with six pockets, the Long Haul offers plenty of room to stash a multi-tool or energy bar or four. While these shorts don’t come with a chamois, at this price, you can afford to match them with the plum smugglers of your choice.

Price 85$
