Freewheel MTB Lite Ride Shorts

Simple design that works. Fairly good stretch. Comfortable. Lightweight but robust fabric. I like the understated design and clean lines of the product. I'd prefer a different button b/c this button needs to slide to lock into place, and it is direction-specific. However, the button rotates over time and so it's frustrating to find the correct orientation to close it. Fix the button and this would be a 5-star product. It would also be good to add some no-slip silicon to the inside of the waistband. If you wear a shammy underneath the shorts tend to slip down a bit even with the side pulls secured tight.

Like the short a lot. The fabric is supple, durable, and lightweight. The fit- initially you are going to think it sucks. I'm not 100% SUPER happy with the way the waist and crotch are for movement off the bike, on the bike, they're pretty good. It isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. I don't feel like they're going to break in and change fit, either. I like the button/snap system a lot, though. The good- tight enough that you aren't going to have fabric moving around on you creating hotspots, loose enough that you don't feel constricted. They're very true to size, as well. All in all, they don't suck. I'll count it as a win.
