    • Tasha (Founder and Designer) packed two sets of clothes for a bikepacking trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. One for riding, one for everything else. By day three she was annoyed enough to start dreaming up the Ramble Scramble Shorts.

      Ramble Scrambles are the ultimate short. Built for long days in the saddle, exploring museums, and grabbing post-ride beers, all without changing. Made with five pockets (yes, five) and a bio-based stretch fabric that looks nothing like trail gear but absolutely is.

    Great Shorts Different Color

    Love my Ramble Scramble shorts but was surprised by the color when I got them. The color Avocado, on line looks gold or light brown. They are definitely green in person, which the name would suggest. I was going with what they looked like which is why I was surprised. They are great shorts and I would recommend them. Just be aware of the color

    Shallow pockets

    These are high quality just as all my other clothing from Curious Creatures, but I can’t figure out why the pockets are so much shallower compared to my other Ramble Scramble shorts. I can’t fit my wallet in the pockets let alone my phone. The pockets on these (light blue) are about 4.5” deep but on my other shorts (the longer cut version in black), they are 6” deep. Those shorts are perfect.

    Super Comfortable

    My partner used these on a recent bike packing trip and felt these shorts were very comfortable, stating "the drawstring is fantastic - that's a wonderful idea." Next time he'd likely opt for a lighter material for longer adventures that would dump more heat, such as the Sun Dog short. He's worn these to men's MTB rides since and has received complements regarding how nice they look. He was even asked if he irons his bike shorts! Beautiful material.

    Comfort, Colors, Cut and Apre Ride Worthy

    Great shorts and fun colors! I got tired of my grey and black shorts and was happy to venture out to a different color palette! I love the fact that these shorts are not too baggy or long. They don't interfere with my saddle or pedaling, and the finish and fabric is high quality. It's a pair of shorts that I can wear before or after a ride, but also just to go out in. Currently my favorite! Also, great customer service and support to get these shipped directly to my ride venue/vacation spot! Thanks!

    Ramble Scramble is awesome!

    Excellent ATB short, perfect weight and flexibility that balances all day comfort on the bike, and durability too. The fit guide was spot on. I'm 5'8" and have a ~30" inseam and the short sits just above the knees while pedaling in the saddle. Kudos to the CC team for blending style, comfort and function into a stellar product!

    Love these shorts!

    They're fantastic to ride in and they are the best MTB shorts I own, BUT, these shorts are honestly epic for everything. They're my favorite multifunctional short due to stretch, durability, comfort, and fit. Oh, and the colors are all top class!

    This is my second pair of Ramble Scramble shorts and I absolutely love them. Fabric is extremely durable, stretchable and comfortable; the sizing is accurate; and I really like the color! Strongly recommend them as a hiking and/or biking short.

    Suspiciously comfy, material selection is great. Pedal and fit like they've been designed by folks that do stuff. Will be back for more.

    Great sizing options and drawstring discovery

    I just ordered a second pair of the Ramble Scramble Short. I like the length for my city cycling and touring. The drawstring was a nice surprise. Belts never seem quite right but the drawstring rocks!

    Almost perfect

    I really like these shorts—the fabric (tough and stretchy but midweight), the standard-layout pockets (esp. the phone pocket), the atypical color. But I would’ve made them with belt loops, not an internal drawstring.

    Fingers crossed

    Bought these on a bikepacking.com review and buyers reviews , having never heard of the company before . Couldn’t be happier, superbly made and although brand new I felt I’d been wearing them for years . All contact and a minor delivery issue , was immediately sorted , greatly appreciated.

    Real nice

    Them shorts are real nice. When I put them on, they’re real comfy and I don’t think about them except when I see the color and think “That’s a real nice color.”

    Well that was easy

    Look, I am a simple person. I want nice shorts, a bit quirky, insanely durable and comfortable. I want shorts that fight for their lives as I subject them to torture as I climb a hill, crush a beer, hit the enduro trail on my garage built single-speed-death-frame and inevitably slide down the trail on my patootie after dragging brake down a shute that was above my paygrade. I want shorts that dont make my crotchular area as hot as the sprue of a volcano and as offputting and odorous as Steven Miller looks. I wish to not be scared of my own nether regions after a big ride. I wants a CHAMPION of shorts. So I looked. I found Curious Creatures. OH HELL YEAH THEY COME IN GREEN. Ordered. I paid my debts. I waited and skulked and agonized and then they came and MY CHAMPION SHORTS HATH ARRIVED. And woof the fit. Thank you Curious Creatures. Thank you dear reader. Im going now to sleep in said shorts in preparation for comfort and trail shredz past yonder morning and up ol' boot hill where my Specialized shorts gave up without so much as a fight.

    Scramble Goodness

    I think these are my new favorite shorts. Only kicked around in them all weekend. Excited to ride in them as soon as I can get back on the bike. I’m usually a 30-32 waist depending on the cut, so I went with the 10’s and they are spot on. Love all the details with fabric, pockets,
    zippers, drawstrings are a nice touch too. I want to live in these 🤘🏽
