If you think of Race Face as a company that only makes over-the-top burly kits for Pacific Northwest riders, you might be surprised by the Trigger short, which feels like something Hugh Hefner would shuffle around in while puttering about the Mansion. The Trigger has an incredibly soft and stretchy shell that is absurdly comfortable. It’s also quite durable.
But you can’t take the North Shore out of a North Shore company. This
being a Race Face product, the company has also given the short a heavy dose of
waterproofing, which reportedly withstands up to 60 bouts with your washing
machine. I’ve been wearing these shorts quite a bit this winter and water still
beads up on the things. These shorts work well in any season. The Trigger is
outfitted with five pockets – all of which are secured with either zippers or
magnetic tabs–double-reinforced seams throughout, and since it sports both Velcro
side adjusters and belt loops, plenty of waistband adjustability.
