    The Marilyn Short doesn't look like most mountain bike shorts, and that’s for good reason.

    This design puts riding comfort first. Our most innovative short in the line up, we removed the standard front fly and moved the zipper to the side, creating a streamlined low-bulk waist and mid section for bent over riding position and putting in long hours on the bike.

    We raised the waist extra high, giving you the same secure coverage as your favorite bibs or mom jeans. Wear with knee pads, on more downhill-oriented days, or if you like a little extra length–it fits any day, for any body.

    The best shorts

    So cool! I love these shorts. The high waist is so great and the cut is perfect!

    New favorite short!

    I love the way these shorts fit. Most comfortable pair I own. Can spend the entire day in them. I ordered my normal size and they fit like a glove and super easy to move around in. I’m saving up for another color so I’m not sad when they’re in the wash.

    Love these - was somewhat surprised

    I’m built like a Corgi but these are super comfortable and true to size (I’m a 6 at 5’4” 130). I especially love the high waist that neither rolls down nor feels constrictive. It’s a great alternative to bib shorts.

    Not for these thighs

    I LOVE the high rise and side zip. All about it. But these biker thighs were too thicc for the slim leg in these shorts. Waist and booty were perfect but the leg is cut too slim IMO. I would prefer something that stays a little wider towards the knee and has more room for knee pads. Material and concept is fantastic and I’m sure these are great for those with less beefy quads.
