BackcountrySlickrock Bike Short - Women's
Item # BCCZ22J
Slickrock Bike Short
When we're riding technical lines in Moab or Sedona, we need a short that won't restrict movement and that can keep us comfortable through the tightest sections. The Slickrock Short are made from a stretchy synthetic blend, providing excellent freedom of movement so we can maneuver through the Notch or the line for a post-ride burger and shake. The synthetic fabric is durable, for that inevitable scrape against a rock, and dries quickly so you won't feel clammy or too chilled. Two zippered front pockets stow anything you need within arm's reach and don't want tucked away in a pack, while the laser-cut vents help dump heat on the climbs.
- Lightweight short for technical trails
- Synthetic and stretchy fabric wicks moisture and has great freedom of movement
- Zippered hand pockets keep essentials close and secure
- Backcountry exclusive

I would have rated these higher if they were designed a bit better for a women’s body. I’m 5’4” 115lbs and although the small did fit (waist a bit large), the thighs were too snug to put a cell phone in either pocket and because the fabric is so thin, lightweight and stretchy (which was great), it was just too snug. If they had just had a thigh sized for a normal shape. I ended up returning them and keeping a different brand.

I love these shorts! I am a daily biker and need shorts that can keep up with me. These shorts fit the bill. I am 5'4" and typically wear a Small, or size 4 pant, in this short bought a small and it fits very well. Despite not having adjustable waist features it fits me well everywhere I need it to. When I first put the shorts on they were fairly tight on the thigh however they relaxed as soon as I began riding. They are moisture-wicking and breathable, so much so that you almost feel like you are not wearing shorts at all! They are water repellent so when you splash through a puddle the water just beads off. The last thing I love about these shorts is how cute they are. The perforated holes add a little detail that separates them from other shorts on the market. The length of the shorts is perfect, and I would be very happy to wear these from trail to town once we are all socially allowed to.

is there a chamois? From description I gather not. Better make that plain in description.

Lets be real-It isn't hard messing up biking socks, jerseys, or gloves. But biking pants? That is a make it or break it! I feel like I've tried almost every mountain biking pants on the market, and been disappoint in some way. So I was very skeptical at first when trying these pants. After some long rides-putting them through the wringer. I cant find anything wrong with them.... Like im shook. Backcountry made the best MB pants on the market.. Not just saying that. The are durable to handle all your spills and OTB's. Very flattering and soft on. No scratchy material. And they are FUNCTIONAL! The fabric has enough stretch that allows you to get in the deepest riding positions, not restricting you. Phone fits perfectly in the pocket, it isn't getting in the way while pedaling. Very breathable. Yes, the orange color is sweat proof..... Lastly that price point! I've paid an absurd amounts for MB pants that arent half as good as these. Dont think, just buy. These are everything you've dreamed a MB short would be. I have an tiny waist and an athletic build hips, and thighs. Id say they fit true to size.

Hey Wendy, Thanks for your question. The shorts do not come with a liner, but we do make a covert liner that pairs well with these shorts :) Here is the link https://www.backcountry.com/backcountry-covert-liner-short-womens?skid=BCC00DH-BK-XS&ti=UExQIEJyYW5kOkJhY2tjb3VudHJ5IEJpa2U6MToxMjoxMDAwMDAxMjRfYmMtYmlrZQ==
