Slickrock 7in Bike Short delivers breathable stretch and a dialed fit for streamlined trail performance
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve worn these from Moab to the Wasatch—they're lightweight, stretchy, and super comfortable on the bike. The short inseam keeps things cool, but they still feel technical enough for serious rides."
Created for long climbs, fast descents, and sweltering summer days on the trail, the Backcountry Slickrock 7in Bike Short delivers a low-bulk fit and breathable performance for all-day riding. The shorter inseam and minimal feel make it an easy choice for XC and trail rides where mobility matters more than coverage.
Built from a quick-drying, four-way stretch fabric, the short moves with the body on climbs and techy terrain while shedding heat in exposed conditions. The articulated cut, gusseted crotch, and minimalist waistband reduce chafing and bulk under a pack or hip belt. With secure zippered pockets and a refined fit, it's the short we grab when efficiency and comfort are top priority.
Whether you’re lining up for a high-mileage trail day or heading out for a quick spin, the Slickrock 7in keeps it light, fast, and focused.

About The Backcountry Brand
Backcountry began in 1996 with two skiers, a stack of avalanche beacons, and a garage in Park City, Utah. Our roots were humble, and we've grown since then, but our vision is still clear: to sell the best outdoor gear—and to create gear that’s even better through our very own gear and apparel brand.

Built By Gearheads
We live and breathe the outdoors, so every stitch of Backcountry gear is made with a mission in mind. Designed in Park City at the foot of Utah’s Wasatch mountains—and tested by our Gearhead® Experts who use it every day—Backcountry styles are built to perform wherever the snow lands, trail leads or adventure calls.
