Colorado designer Ashley Rankin debuted Shredly in January 2012, and hershorts have been a savior for female riders ever since. The funky patterns are a refreshing splash of color in a world of drab options and the fit and style are spot-on. I’ve tested the short and long versions, and prefer the cut with an added 3 inches to the inseam. If you wear kneepads, you’ll want the longer length too, which falls just below the knees.
