Random shorts from your laundry basket may may look hip, but they’re not nearly as comfortable and functional for long days in the saddle as Pearl Izumi's new Expedition Shell Short. This slim all purpose cycling over-short is constructed from lightweight, high-stretch fabric that makes it easy to access the thigh cargo pockets on Pearl's form fit Expedition Shorts should you choose to wear them underneath. The designers added an articulated waistband for long haul comfort and zippered side pocket to keep your smartphone close at hand. Should things get rowdy, the permanent PI Dry® technology shrugs off spray from tires, spilled beverages and stream crossings.
