Whats a Sun Dog?
A sun dog is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the Sun. Two sun dogs often flank the Sun within a 22° halo making a beautiful and magical circle around the sun.
The refraction of sunlight is caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere which act as prisms, bending the light rays passing through.

"Awesome for biking, hiking, lake days. Obsessed with these bad boys. 10/10 no notes" - Sarah ★★★★★
Love the lightweight feel and thoughtful design. Not over engineered with extra pockets and snaps and great color selection if you’re one for subtle pops of color rather than bold patterns. Fits beautifully with their lightweight chams! New loyal customer here and can’t wait for CC to expand their line!
So comfy, amazing fit and light fabric - hardly felt like I had anything on, not constrictive at all - will probably also wear for non-biking activities! Thanks for making such a great short, love! love!
Uh, hellooooo. These are amazing. Perfect pockets, seam doesn’t ride up my butt like all the other shorts I’ve been trying on and the waist/hips/thighs FIT. Not snug, not loose, just right. 5’2”, 115lb - usually a size 4, and the 4 fits just right.

I wish there was just a little tiny more room in the thigh. (It’s a little narrower than the Patagonia shorts that you designed. (or maybe they need to just stretch out a little. I do have bikers thighs after all.
