Why We Built The Backcountry Slickrock 11in Bike Short
"These shorts are light enough for desert temperatures without leaving me feeling exposed to the sun." —Gearhead® Expert Jessie

Our Backcountry Slickrock 11in is built from a 4-way stretch fabric for maximum freedom of movement and has laser-cut perforations along the inner thigh to bump up the airflow when the pace starts to pick up.

Great shorts just work like they should
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- Large and XL
These shorts are great. Everything in the right spot, zipper pockets, vents and they have been extremely durable on long o er night trips and at my local park. They do run on the larger size. I ordered a large and xl to make sure I got the right fit. I went with the large but wonder I’d a medium would work. I also ordered the 10inch version and will keep the 10 and 12 inch versions

Best MTB shorts I have ridden
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- L
the material is a great choice, should be tough enough and thin enough as well. The pockets are functional and keep your phone on the side of your leg which is nice as well. I picked up two colors and couldn't be happier! Great for hiking as well.

Great shorts but taped seam failing
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I have multiple pairs of these and I love them. Unfortunately my latest pair in the color turbulence has a taped seam on the leg opening that is coming apart. I have only washed these 4 times. Love them but would not recommend them for this reason .

Don't MTB, but DO wear these Badboys!

I bought two pairs of these shorts on a lark and to use for Indoor Climbing. I like them SO MUCH I wear them constantly. I work remotely doing Consultative Sales; so I sit in front of three monitors and a laptop all day. These are BY FAR the most comfortable shorts to work in! Gonna add a couple more colors for the Summer. Ladies take note: The "gusset" in these shorts is tailored in such a way that, if you get a kick out of glancing at your man's "credentials" once in a while, you're gonna especially like these badboys LOL. My normally aloof wife was the one who called this "feature" to my attention; and SHE was the one who suggested I grab a couple more pairs!

These are one of the most comfortable MTB shorts I've owned. They are lightweight, cool, and super comfortable material. I wear padded liner shorts under, so I love the adjustable built in waistband belt to secure the fit. . Highly recommend.

Exactly What I Needed for Summer
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- M
- Height:

- Weight:
- 180
I’ve worn these for three weeks now, having bought two pairs initially and later adding a third. They run on the tighter side of being true-to-size in my opinion. I’m 180 and 5’ 11” and a M fits pretty much like a glove, the thighs being the absolute smallest diameter I would want them. A L might be baggy, and were I ten pounds heavier I would certainly upsize. The quality is there. The fabric has really grown on me these past few weeks. The pockets easily fit a larger cell phone and I’ve had no issues whatsoever with constrictions or binding. The vents are so helpful, and they were the feature that helped coax me into buying the first two pair. The quality of construction and the feel of the fabric and the perfect fit all combined to convince me to get a third pair for better laundry rotation in hot weather. Overall a solid product for my first experience with Backcountry brand. I’ll be giving their other products a closer look from now on as my needs warrant. It does seem that Backcountry listens to user feedback when designing their gear - at least as far as these shorts are concerned.
