Specialized Mountain bib liner shorts with SWAT


Thanks to two shallow leg pockets and three deeper rear pockets, Specialized’s SWAT (Storage Water Air Tools) undershorts allow you to ditch your pack on shorter rides. The leg pockets are handy for lighter items like energy gels and bars, while the bigger rear pockets can happily accommodate a spare tube, basic tools, phone or even a water bottle. We’d like to see one zipped pocket for keys or cash, though. Even when fully loaded, the body-hugging fit means the SWAT bibs don’t sag down and kit stays well positioned while riding. To top things off, the Specialized chamois is one of the comfiest out there, which just adds to the overall value.
