ZOIC Private Reserve Bike Short - Men's - 2008

Wish that spandex bike shorts would go the way of the dodo? ZOIC is with you. The Men's Private Reserve Bike Shorts have only enough spandex to let you move freely—and no more. These long and loose shorts feature ZOIC's Fusion Gusset, which would allow you to do the splits while riding, should you have the balance, flexibility, and desire. Lightweight nylon dries quickly in the event of a river crossing, but we don't recommend wading because you're carrying your iPod in these shorts' MP3 pocket. Remove the Private Reserve's wicking liner and fleece-lined chamois when you want to go directly to brewpub après ride.

Bottom Line: From biking to beer drinking without missing a beat.

Shorts that fit me

By:
June 26, 2008

I'm fat and these shorts fit great, no one, even me, wants to see me in stretchies. Most other brands run really small and stop short of the high end of the size spectrum, I guess fat people aren't supposed to exercise.. These have a good number of functional pockets, I hate things in the hip pockets while riding, so the cargo pockets are great. Longer legs on the shorts keep the sun off the upper half of my legs and limit burning. The liner can come out to be washed separately which is good for longevity. I find the chamois to be of good thickness to facilitate extended riding and the thickness of the overshorts is perfect for long life while still being light enough to keep from letting heat build up. Overall good design and great value.

Shorts that fit nice and look good! No one wants to see bikers in nasty spandex - so get these :) The shorts are comfortable and have a nice amount of pockets. The chamios is great, and can be worn under other mtb shorts! Its not a super big pad, but it helps a lot. A must have for a good price.

Short and liner in one!

By: Backcountry.com Employee

I love the shorts, they are sturdy and light but still look cool. Functional pockets all over, some with hook and loop closures. The liner works great, the chamois seems to be doing its job too. I will wear these shorts at work, or play, it's not going to matter. I wear a size 34 waist, so I purchased the large size and they seem to fit about right, maybe a little big in the shorts but I use a belt and they are perfect. They are great shorts.
