Premium Fit & Feel
Engineered to be the benchmark of lightweight trail shorts, Pearl Izumi's Summit Short will easily place among your favorite gear. The elastic-free waistband provides a minimalist feel and holds the shorts securely in place, while external hook and loop straps let you dial in the fit on the fly.
New Trail Access side pockets are angled backwards, instead of down the front of the thigh, to shift contents comfortably out of the way while pedaling and allow easy accessibility while riding. For added toughness and comfort, the bonded and angled leg openings prevent snagging on knee pads and minimize chafing. The durable water repellent coating sheds trail spray and keeps these shorts looking fresh, ride after ride. A new premium liner with a fast drying chamois rounds out this high-performance package.

Nice outer shorts, OK chamois
These are fine commuter shorts but I wouldn't recommend them for trail or gravel riding for longer than about two hours because the padded liner isn't up to it. I find it chafes and the padding is too puffy, not dense enough. The outer short is light weight, not much heavier than running shorts. The backwards facing pockets are nice for keeping your phone or energy bar from falling into your inner thigh but it takes some getting used to when you're not actually on the bike. The waistband closure is not a button or snap but a hooked belt - unusual but it works fine. I wish the liner was removable for washing and for when I want to use a better short underneath.
