What even is 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. Sick, right?!

"Awesome for biking, hiking, lake days. Obsessed with these bad boys. 10/10 no notes" - Sarah ★★★★★
Love these shorts! I’ve worn them hiking and even trail running and I like them for both. For trail running they are best on colder days!

Super comfortable, nice fit and bonus having two zippered pockets! Love them!!
Used these for 3 days while bikepacking and they were great - comfortable, quick drying, and stylish. It was so nice to have shorts that felt like my style while on a gravel/adventure bike. They don't look as techy as some traditional MTB shorts but have all the features I need - they move with my body and have a nice fit!
I bought these after trying multiple shorts that didn't work for various reasons (too long, too short, crotch rub, snap/zipper/waist issues, etc.), and these are perfect! I just wore them on a trek for 10 straight days and they were SO comfortable--waist band is amazingly comfy, length is great, perfect stretch (enough to bend, not too much that they stretched out too much), and the pockets are the best pockets I've ever had. I've now bought them in 2 other colors and really hope one day they will have them in black too!
