When we are blasting jumps on flow trails and slashing berms on technical sections we trust the Giro ARC Mid Short. These synthetic shorts keep the sun off of our pasty thighs while we pedal from sun up to sundown.

There's a reason you're riding fifteen miles into the wild on a skinny dirt trail, and it's most likely to get away from annoying distractions of modern civilization.
