Backcountry Empire Bike Short - Men´s

Why We Built The Backcountry Empire Bike Short

"Love that these shorts are long for better coverage and that there´s extra space for my knee pads at the opening. No weird gap, no snags while I´m pedaling." Gearhead® Expert Alex

Our Backcountry Empire Bike Short was inspired by one of the rowdiest descents in our backyard and built to excel on the technical high-alpine terrain of Park City´s seemingly endless trail system. The 4-way stretch fabric ensures there´s no limit to how much we can move around the bike as we navigate exposed ridgelines, while the longer inseam provides added coverage and a seamless fit with our kneepads. Plus, the adjustable waist with silicone grippers keeps our shorts in place no matter how gnarly the trail gets.
