The Marilyn Short doesn’t look like most women’s mountain bike shorts—and that’s the point.

Designed for comfort first, this high-rise, longer-inseam, side-zip short is built for long days in the saddle, knee pad compatibility, and feeling damn good while you’re at it. We ditched the front fly and shifted the zipper to the side for a clean, low-bulk waistband that stays put, especially in bent-over riding positions. Confident. Technical. Made for riders who bring the vibes.

Minimal, timeless, high rise, slim fit


Not your average MTB short. High-rise, side-entry, zero bulk.

Go ahead, feel damn fine.

Stay-put coverage. Pedal friendly shape. And a fit that works with your body.

Built for knee pads, downhill days, and big energy. The longer inseam keeps things dialed when the ride gets rowdy.
The best shorts
So cool! I love these shorts. The high waist is so great and the cut is perfect!
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.
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.
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.
