When not in action on your bike, the Venture Short Relaxed gracefully shifts into a great hiking, pickleball-playing, international travel short. Years of fit refinement on other predecessors led us here. It’s always tricky with a fitted waist and woven fabric but we’ve engineered a new adjustment system, applied Terry shaping to accommodate a cyclist’s unique muscle structure, finessed the length and gave this relaxed version additional room through the hip and thigh. Next, we loaded it up with nicely organized pockets and added a full gusset through the crotch to avoid seam chafing. Also available in a more tailored fit through the hips and thighs. 11.5 inch inseam.

Note: this short is sold without a padded liner.
