BikeRadar verdict

45 out of 5 stars

"Excellent cut and lightweight construction. Bargain price and pub worthy looks too"

Mon 20 Jul 2009, 4:00 pm UTCBy Ian Collins, Mountain Biking UK

Oakley have always made quality soft goods, for everything from snowboarding and biking to pub gear. These berm shorts keep things nice and simple.

They don’t have a padded liner,so you can wear proper cycling shorts underneath and get that boardshort look. The lightweight polyester shell has a mesh liner to keep things cool and the waistband has a silicon rubber gripper to keep them in place.

The fit is superb, with no MC Hammer crotch drop to catch on the saddle or bunch up underneath you. As long as you have a quality chamois cycling short underneath they’re as comfortable as a baggy gets.

Manufacturers description

When you're really getting after it, you're hitting jumps and drops that make you look back to see if you lost any vital organs. Here's a no-chamois MTB short that lets freeriders do that voodoo. The look is made to hone their style while the geometry gets into some precision contouring that fits and feels right, even when they're doing things that frighten the uninitiated. The side pocket is a handy stash, and we added a tab closure on the back pocket to help keep valuables in check.
