Why We Like The POC Essential Enduro Short

Perform at your best on hotter trail rides and midsummer race days with the POC Essential Enduro Short. Constructed from a lightweight stretch material that offers effective wicking and quick drying, these shorts keep you cool, dry, and comfortable—even when temperatures approach triple digits. The enduro-specific fit is pre-shaped for optimal comfort with knee pads, and the shorts feature reinforcements at the rear to prevent them from getting shredded in a crash. An elastic waist band with adjustable hook-and-loop tabs ensures a precision fit, while two zippered side pockets provide secure storage of your belongings.

Velcro straps on waist are flimsy

The velcro tabs on the waist line are really flimsy, and don't stay fastened very well. During my ride, the velcro kept coming undone, and the shorts would sag, making getting in/out of the saddle slightly annoying, as the nose of the saddle would catch the crotch of the shorts. Can I return them after only 1 use?

I purchased these $100 shorts knowing POC is priced higher but the quality should equal the premium? Well I was wrong . While I like the fit and function. After the first day and I didn't' even crash, I have a 3 inch tear in the middle of my left butt cheek! Never again. Lesson learned.

Nice shorts, ran small for me

Mostly commenting on size. Fabric seems light and tough and they're easy to move in but I haven't owned then long enough to comment on durability. I ordered a small and returned for medium. I'm usually a 32 waist, sometimes a 31 or 30, so that seemed like a good match for small. The shorts would button up but too tight and I couldn't live with the resulting muffin top.

Shorts have a great polished slim fit with enough length to prevent any knee gap with your pads. Velcro waist band dials down the fit. The two pockets fit my iPhone Pro Max and a wallet when popping into the store. Perfect!

I was hesitant to try these because earlier versions seemed to have sizing issues, but the new crop fit bang on. I typically wear a 32" or 33" waist, and the POC mediums are right on the money. Along the same lines, I usually wear 34" inseam pants, and these shorts fall just below my kneecaps. They pair really well with POC VPD Air knee pads, if you're wondering. They don't hang-up at all. The fit and feel are very similar to Pearl Izumi Summit shorts... a nice stretchy and light softshell material with a trimmer cut. Glad I bought 'em!
