The North Face

Chain Ring Short - Men's

When the folks at The North Face design a piece of outdoor apparel, they don't mess around. Even something as simple as a pair of shorts becomes an exercise in design perfection. The North Face Chain Ring Shorts are a perfect example. If you were designing a pair of riding shorts for yourself, you would make them just like this.

The most important feature in a mountain bike short is a removable chamois liner. The removable liner makes the short ultra-versatile because you can wear them together as a bike short, without the liner as a regular short, or you can wear the liner with any of your other shorts. If ultimate versatility isn't enough, The North Face also loaded the Chain Ring Short with mesh thigh vents to cool you down in a hurry, a high back waistband for total coverage in the riding position, and a seamless crotch gusset forunlimited range of motion.

The North Face was also kind enough to provide reinforced stitching and bar-tacking throughout the shorts so you wouldn't have to replace them in a couple months. The mesh-lined hand pockets are nice, so you can hold onto your valuables without having to add a bunch of materials, and there's even a sunglass wipe include in the right hand pocket to clean up your sweat-soaked sunnies.

The North Face Chain Ring Short comes in even sizes 28 through 38 and is available in Black, High Rise Grey, or Graphite Grey.
