Mountain Surf Short

The Mountain Surf Shorts are perfect shorts! Similar to the Chachis, though the Mountain Surf are certainly an upgrade. The fabric is a great durable fabric very similar to the Chachis fabric, although unlike the Chachis, the Mountain Surf does not have the secondary thinner super stretchy fabric used in the gusset or around the pockets, which quickly pilled from saddle friction and frequent use of the pockets. The Mountain Surf are all the same great fabric. The side zippers have flaps that are a nice addition. I really like how the shorts taper slightly going down to the knees making them feel more fitted and less excessive bag. The gusset is a diamond rather than a full inner panel which seems to be a much more efficient design. I found the thread used with the Chachis was a lower grade thread and as the seams became worn the thread wore right off way sooner than I think it should've even with regular use. The thread used on the Mountain Surf looks to be a thicker and stronger thread and I suspect is polyester thread not cotton, making the construction hold together longer through rigorous use. And finally, the color a awesome! A little bit darker than displayed in the advertised pic but a nice medium chocolate/golden brown. Awesome short all around, no complaints. Please Club Ride, continue to make shorts like these and I'll certainly keep buying.

I love these shorts and will own every color. Great from trail, to commute to work at the local shop.

I’m not the type to write reviews, however the quality and comfort of this pair justifies one.
I live in South Florida where the temperature is approximately greater than 85 degrees outside of our “winter” months. Humidity is usually greater than 80%, which means you will sweat with your first step out the door. These shorts are very comfortable in regards to fit and mobility, but also very breathable. Although I’m soaking wet by the end of the ride, the shorts do not stick and dry within a reasonable amount of time. I imagine the shorts to be of greater comfort out west where the climate is dryer and cooler. Based on this experience, I highly recommend these shorts.

These shorts are light weight and comfortable on and off the bike. I like the internal waist adjustment Velcro that doesn't add any bulk or discomfort of a belt.
