Scott

Essential Shorts - Men's

Scott's Essential Shorts are made for the days when the sun is out and you want to get out in it as fast as possible with only the bare essentials. The shorts are reliable enough to grab and go — regardless of how far you're planning to ride — with the features you need to stay comfortable without all the overbearing tech of race kit.

The Essentials rely on a synthetic blend to wick moisture away from your skin and manage temperature to resist the heat of summer. The fabric also resists pilling, so these shorts can spend many summers in your rotation. Scott includes its Basic chamois, which guarantees comfort over shorter rides with a variable-density foam to give you cushion in the areas you need it most. The foam is wrapped in a soft, bacteriostatic top layer that sits softly against your skin.

The flatlock seams used throughout the shorts cut out the risk of irritation or chafing in the non-chamois regions, and silicone grippers on the bottom of each leg help the shorts stay in place whether you're climbing out of the saddle, coasting on the flats, or bellying up to the lemonade stand during a well-deserved rest stop.
