Race Face

Indy Short - Men's

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when you're out mountain biking and encounter wet conditions, water will bead up and roll off the fabric instead of soaking in. This keeps you drier and more comfortable, allowing you to focus on your ride without worrying about getting wet.

Three-Way Stretch Fabric is designed to stretch in three directions: horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. This flexibility provides greater freedom of movement, which is essential for biking. It allows you to pedal, maneuver, and shift positions comfortably without feeling restricted, making your ride more enjoyable and efficient.

Laser Vented Inner Thighs feature small holes or vents cut into the fabric using a laser, enhancing airflow and breathability. This design helps keep you cool during intense physical activities like mountain biking, especially on hot days or during strenuous climbs. Improved ventilation can significantly enhance your comfort level while riding.

Knee Pad Slip Panels are specially designed areas in the shorts that allow for easy insertion and removal of knee pads. This feature is crucial for mountain bikers who want to protect their knees without the hassle of taking off their shorts. The slip panels ensure that you can quickly adapt to different riding conditions while maintaining comfort and protection.

A Mud-Shedding Finish is a special treatment that prevents mud and dirt from sticking to the fabric of your shorts. This is particularly beneficial for mountain bikers who often ride in muddy conditions. With this finish, cleaning your shorts becomes much easier, and they maintain their appearance and functionality for longer, allowing you to spend more time riding and less time cleaning.

Absolutely! While these shorts are designed with mountain biking in mind, their features—like DWR Coating, Three-Way Stretch Fabric, and breathability—make them suitable for various outdoor activities such as hiking, trail running, or even casual wear. Their versatility ensures you get great value and performance, no matter the activity.
