Ether 9 Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like the Ether 9 because it has all the features of the full-length Ether but in a more compact cut. The venting is excellent, the pockets are well thought out, and they move really well on climbs and descents. They’re my go-to for hot-weather trail riding."

The Zoic Ether 9 Short takes everything riders love about the flagship Ether and trims it down to a versatile 9-inch inseam. Perfect for riders who prefer a shorter cut, this technical short doesn’t skimp on performance. The DuraFlex fabric blends durability with stretch to handle aggressive trail rides while maintaining freedom of movement. With UPF 50+ protection, it also shields us from hours of sun exposure.

Technical performance extends to ventilation and fit. Mesh panels across the back waistband and legs maximize airflow, keeping us cool on exposed climbs and in mid-summer heat. The Fusion Gusset inseam eliminates saddle snags and allows a full range of motion, while the ExactFit waistband tabs provide micro-adjustability for a dialed-in fit on every ride.

The Ether 9 Short is storage-rich with six functional pockets, including dual angled cargo pockets for easy trail access, secure zippered compartments, and a phone-specific pocket positioned for protection and comfort while pedaling. Designed without a liner, it gives us the freedom to pair with our preferred padded short for customizable comfort.

From all-day singletrack missions to quick spins after work, the Ether 9 Short offers the technical pedigree of the legendary Ether in a more compact, warm-weather-friendly package.
