Let's be honest, when it comes to women's high performance mountain shorts, the look and fit can often come across as too burly. A common sport industry practice known as "Shrink it and pink it." that merely drafts down popular men's styles into women's might've had something to do with that. Our Emma Trail Short, while checked out by many our talented male riders, was Designed, tested and approved by a team of discerning women riders who demand superior fit, performance and comfort. In other words, no 'Pinking' was allowed. Our goal was to create a clean and simple short that was super light, breathable and technical yet durable out on the trail. This is why we went with our new lightweight VaporRize™ four-way stretch woven fabric that moves and flexes with you at every berm and drop. Features include two bonded zippered pockets that provide a convenient storage solution for transporting your trail essentials. Inside waist adjustment tabs keep the outside waistband clean and non-obtrusive to packs or jersey fabric that can catch on exposed velcro. These minimal self tabs ensure that the fit of the short is easily customizable and dialed-in, even when your pockets are loaded. Strategically placed laser perforations allow for welcome cool air flow through hot zones. Lightweight bonded plastic snaps work in conjunction with a mesh gusseted fly that replaces a bulky zipper, to keep the center front light and comfortable while riding in and out of the saddle.
