Why We Like The Outdoor Research Freewheel Ride Short
Riding off-road is no joke—the falls are rocky, brush reaches into the trails—and Outdoor Research went all in on durability in these shorts. The Freewheel Ride Short is an essential piece of apparel for singletrack, gravel, and park riding due to its durable and stretchy nylon composition. In addition to the rugged fibers, these shorts feature a resin-based 3D-printed overlay, DuraPrint, to boost durability in high-contact zones without increasing weight or limiting flexibility. And speaking of flex, Outdoor Research mastered on-bike mobility in this style: stretch fabric, a gusseted crotch, and pedal-friendly leg articulation keep us moving.

Good short but too long
Great shorts to ride in so far. Comfortable and a chamois short fits underneath just fine. Great pockets and I like the button snap and draw strings. Good riding fit for enduro bros and Dads alike. My only gripe is the length. I'm almost 6'3" and they are long on me. This is a 32 waist as well. I like the vent on the backside.

Good riding shorts
Great MTB shorts. They move very well and are extremely comfortable. I have to complaints though. 1. Zippered pockets are to narrow. Hand cant fit inside so you're forced to use your fingers to find stuff and it's annoying if you have gloves on. 2. Could use back pocket for wallet etc. besides those miner things they're my new favorite shorts. Hope to see pants in the future.
