Why We Built The Empire Bike Short

Tapping into years of experience riding our local trail in Park City, we built the Empire bike shorts to elevate our riding experience with exceptional comfort, mobility, and function. The Empire shorts have a longer inseam than our Slickrock bike shorts, making them an ideal choice for aggressive trail and enduro riding.

Love these shorts

The quality and comfort of these shorts hits way above the price. I really appreciate the double snap on the waist. The material quality is excellent. I have found them extremely comfortable and will buy more pairs for sure. You can't go wrong with these. Compared to my similar Pearl Izumi shorts, these win hands down.

Fits perfect! Great for trail riding and good mobility. Feels durable and pockets are good size for cell and wallet. Only used once for a XC race and still like them for the race.

WAAAYY TOO BIG!

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it

Excessively baggy & oversized waist circumference: I wear size Medium pants except for size Large Castelli road cycling shorts (I'm 5'10", 152#, 32" waist). Size Small might have worked but the shipping time of over a week makes an exchange trial impractical for me so I'm returning. These shorts are nice looking with great fabric, fun color, and good construction. They're quite comfortable, too, with rear waist grips. Despite its two clever side waist adjusters the pants look too baggy on 'me' and I don't like that that the inseam extends so far below my knees. IMHO the size zip pockets are hardly more than slits, too small to offer much utility but other reviewers are OK with it. Otherwise, these are nice pants that run one size too big.

My New Favorite MTB Shorts

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:
LARGE
Height:
6' 2"
Weight:
190

These shorts are the perfect mix of toughness, stretch, style, and function. The fabric is perfect for mtb riding. It has so much comfort while riding. It doesn't feel restrictive like some of my older mtb shorts. I got the yellow color which is more like a dark mustard; its a nice change from the usual black shorts. And the LARGE size fits me perfectly (6'2", 190lbs). The length is just down to my knee so it may be slightly longer than some shorts, but perfect for what I was looking for.

Fantastic shorts!

Great fit and very comfortable riding in the Arizona summer heat. They dry fast and offer really good flexibility. I' m ordering another pair. I like the color but would like another color choice. I would definetly recommend these if you're looking for a very comfortable, cool pair of shorts both during the ride and afterwards.
