These are Sombrio’s freeride shorts and they’re made from a noticeably burlier four-way-stretch fabric than their more trail-orientated Highlines. They’ve got a ton of features, including three zipped pockets (although these sit too low on the leg for our liking), zipped vents and a lift-pass retainer. On the bike, the stretch fabric, seamless crotch and vents mean you can pedal in cool comfort despite the thick material. Build quality is generally high, with reinforced stretch stitching on most seams, though one of the Velcro waist adjusters on our samples delaminated on first use.
