This lightweight trail short is great for riding in any summer condition, rain or shine, thanks to the DWR coating on the new four-way stretch transfer woven fabric. The fabric's water-resistance beads right off the surface, giving you a dry ride even in the middle of a storm. Another feature to love about the Summit Shell Short is the Trail Access side pockets. Most pockets face straight down your leg, but these two zippered side pockets slant backward down your leg to keep your pocket full of items out of the way during your pedal stroke.
