This short is recyclable which is harder than it might seem. Instead of using spandex for stretch we used a special polyester stretch yarn for performance and fast dry times, with the bonus that it’s easy to recycle. If your Ramble Scramble Short reaches the end of its very long, happy life, send it back to us for recycling or repairs, supporting a circular economy.
These shorts were made using Bluesign® approved fabrics. We are proud members of 1% for the Planet.

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.
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
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!

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.
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.
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!

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!

Great fit and stretchy fabric. Nice details.
Feel great in the city and on the trail.
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.
Amazing Shorts! So comfy, durable and perfectly sized 🔛
Men's Ramble Scramble Short
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.
Comfortable and fit well.
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.”
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.
Wonderfull fit and function

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 🤘🏽
