Blending the lines between dedicated trail and cross-country shorts, the Pearl Izumi Men's Summit Short lets you fly over your favorite stretches of trail without soaking up passing showers. Treated with a water-shedding DWR coating, the Summit is a great choice for variable weather patterns often encountered in alpine environments. Its 4-way stretch ripstop stands up to regular abuse without restricting motion on the trail. And because it features a generous relaxed cut, you'll find there's plenty of room to move when you're dodging trail obstacles and negotiating tight switchbacks.
