Why We Built the Backcountry Empire 11.5in Bike Short

With endless miles of enduro riding right here in our backyard, including the legendary Empire trail in Park City, we needed a short built to stand up to gnarly descents, trailside brush, and the occasional crash. The Backcountry Empire combines a durable 4-way stretch fabric with an enduro-friendly fit to give us a short that won't restrict us whether we're tackling a massive rock garden or practicing our whips at the bike park.

Great Shorts

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I got these in the pink color and wore it riding for about 90 minutes (PNW) and it was raining a little, so the trails were wet. The back of the shorts was covered in mud / dirt. Got home and hosed it off and went into the wash. The back of the shorts still had mud stains on it. Exchanging for a new pair, but def more of dry weather riding shorts. Material is amazing, soft and great strech.
