Description We pulled in the ethos of enduro mountain bike racers when we designed the Animal Short, a MTB short that can climb but is really made for the descent, thanks to a long 13.5-inch inseam, plenty of stretch, and a super tough fabric. Its moisture wicking waistband with silicone keeps the shorts up when you’re going down. Hand pockets are rotated to the back slightly, so whatever’s in them doesn’t get in the way of the hip crease, three zippered pockets securely store your phone or sunglasses, and a sleek adjustable waist system gives these shorts a custom fit. The Animal Short was built with mechanical stretch, which means the stretch is inherent in the fabric’s weave, without adding spandex. That gives you the performance of stretch, but in a quicker drying and lighter weight package.
