Why We Built The Backcountry Empire Bike Short

"Love that these shorts are long for better coverage and that there's extra space for my knee pads at the opening. No weird gap, no snags while I'm pedaling." —Gearhead® Expert Alex


Our Backcountry Empire Bike Short was inspired by one of the rowdiest descents in our backyard and built to excel on the technical high-alpine terrain of Park City's seemingly endless trail system. The 4-way stretch fabric ensures there's no limit to how much we can move around the bike as we navigate exposed ridgelines, while the longer inseam provides added coverage and a seamless fit with our kneepads. Plus, the adjustable waist with silicone grippers keeps our shorts in place no matter how gnarly the trail gets.

Everybody loves my Empire shorts

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

Handsome design, great colors (calla and sunflower), comfy in many conditions. I logged back in and bought more! Note: sunflower fig perfectly and calla is noticeably tighter, but serviceable. They wash and dry well. They’re my new favorite shorts!
