Description<p><strong>What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:</strong></p><p>"Love that these shorts are long for better coverage and that there's extra space for my knee pads at the opening. No weird gap, no snags while I'm pedaling."</p><p>Our Backcountry Empire Bike Short was inspired by one of the rowdiest descents in our backyard and built to excel on the technical high-alpine terrain of Park City's seemingly endless trail system. The 4-way stretch fabric ensures there's no limit to how much we can move around the bike as we navigate exposed ridgelines, while the longer inseam provides added coverage and a seamless fit with our kneepads. Plus, the adjustable waist with silicone grippers keeps our shorts in place no matter how gnarly the trail gets.</p><p><a href="https://www.backcountry.com/rc/backcountry-mtb-collection" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Shop the Full MTB Collection</u></strong></a></p>
