Light, Tough, Trail-Ready
Tough trails demand tougher gear—and the Men’s Traction Short delivers. Developed with input from Loïc Bruni and Finn Iles, these shorts are built from abrasion-resistant, four-way stretch fabric with fast-drying yarns and laser-perforated vents to keep airflow high. At just 168 gsm—59 grams lighter than before—they’re as light as they are tough. A curved waistband and snap closure provide a secure fit, while multiple pockets keep essentials close. Bonus: an iron-on patch for quick fixes.

Designed with the Best in the World, For the Best in the World
When Loïc and Finn aren’t in the start house of a DH, they are on the trails, riding lap after lap dialing mind, body, and bike for the rigours of the World Cup. That’s why we worked directly with them to develop Traction apparel. Turns out, they are fanatics about apparel—fit, fabrics, weight, breathability. They obsess about it just like we do. Traction reflects more than their years of experience, it’s their go-to apparel for every ride.
Relaxed Fit
Relaxed without being too baggy, featuring articulation built for the trail riding position and designed for freedom of movement on the bike and over your pads.
