Why We Built The Backcountry Slickrock 9in Bike Short
"The lightweight fabric is perfect for the high temps during summer rides." —Gearhead® Expert Jessie
Whether we want to save some precious grams and show a little thigh or go from trail to town without changing our shorts, our Backcountry Slickrock 9in Short sits high atop our list of double-duty bike shorts. The 4-way stretch fabric and close-to-the-body fit give us full freedom of movement for tackling technical high alpine rock gardens and sandstone slickrock descents, while the integrated belt and waistband gripper ensure that our shorts stay put, no matter how rocky the trail gets.

It's a great short, BUT...
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- Small
You can't get it unless you are an XL or XXL. I bought my size small in the spring and went back later to get another pair in a different color, but they were out. I have been waiting for a restock for about four months. It is a great short. I bought the green one, and I want to purchase the Bistre. I hope someday they restock.

Finally something for short people!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Small
These are great shorts and something I have been looking for since I am short and tired of the 13 inch length shorts out there. I am 5' 6" with a 30.5 inch inseam and these sit above my knee. So far they have been great on my rides. Really comfortable, and have been resistant to tears on some brambly trails. I like the waist adjustability, that should last a lot longer than the velcro options out there. Pockets are good for a phone, and I like the vents on the inside of the legs. I would be even happier if they had one pocket in the back but I will take what I can get in this size/length.

I am 5'10", 150 lbs, size 31" waist and the Small size fit well. Shorts are very comfortable and seem to be well made. I like the way the belt works. Would recommend.

- Size Bought:
- S
- Height:

I'm 5'8" 155 lbs, so the 9" inseam are perfect for me. These shorts are lightweight and comfortable. I went with a size small. I have two pair of these (10" inseam) in the previous style from Backcountry which I also like.
