Expedition Short combines chamois comfort, compression, and cargo storage for gravel and endurance rides
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Expedition Short is my top choice when I want all-day comfort and storage without wearing bibs. The ELITE Levitate 3D chamois is plush but supportive, and the extended waistband ensures a secure fit. The cargo pockets are incredibly useful, giving me space for snacks, tools, or even a light layer. Whether I'm riding gravel, pavement, or singletrack, these shorts give me everything I need for adventure."
The Expedition Short is built for cyclists who crave adventure, whether it's grinding out miles on remote gravel roads or packing for a weekend bikepacking trip. Designed for long-distance comfort, these shorts feature a soft, compressive fit that supports our muscles without restricting movement.
At the core of the design is the ELITE Levitate 3D chamois, a dual-density pad that absorbs road vibration and reduces sit bone discomfort, ensuring we stay comfortable even on rough terrain. The extended waistband provides a secure, pinch-free fit, while the durable stretch-woven fabric ensures long-lasting performance.
Storage is a key feature, with two thigh cargo pockets and a lumbar pocket providing ample space for nutrition, tools, or extra layers—allowing us to ditch the traditional jersey if we choose. BioViz® reflective elements ensure we're visible in low-light conditions, making these shorts a reliable companion for early-morning rollouts or late-day finishes. Whether we’re riding unsupported or just prefer shorts over bibs, the Expedition Short is ready for any adventure.
