Raceface 6×6 Shorts review

These are exactly the take-anything shorts you would expect from RaceFace. The outer shell is heavier duty than most, and with both belt loops and a separate waist adjustment there was no problem persuading them to stay in place through a ride where everything stayed firmly flap-free.

All that outer toughness is balanced by a great liner, so you get the ideal combination of cossetted ease around the essentials and a high degree of durability.

The relative expense is worth it for shorts that will stand up to the rigours of downhill but doesn’t feel too overwhelming heavy to pedal a few miles either. The 6×6 is also available without a liner for 20 quid cheaper.
