From gravel riding and bikepacking to hiking, we love the Rapha Explore Shorts for their versatile design and technical features. The four-way stretch nylon fabric is durable, breathable, and moisture-wicking, so we stay comfortable no matter what we are doing. Two zippered side pockets and two hand pockets give us space to store our essentials, and the rear zippered pocket doubles as a stuff sack so we can quickly pack up the shorts. An elastic waistband and an integrated belt give us the perfect fit every time, and the DWR water-resistant treatment sheds off water from the exterior of the shorts, so we stay dry and comfortable.
