Sombrio Pinner short review

The Pinner short is the benchmark of Sombrio’s clothing line and has been freerider Dave Watson’s signature short from the beginning. This year’s short hasn’t changed much from last year’s model but it’s been given a fresh design down the left leg and comes in a new cool range of colours. 

Made from four-way stretch woven nylon, the Pinner is as supple and unrestricting as your own skin, allowing you to move your weight around the bike as much as you need to when riding super-technical trails at top speed.

The seam construction and bar tack stitching in high stress areas lets you crash hard with full confidence that when you peel yourself off the ground your shorts won’t be dangling off you in tatters. 

And they still have all the features of the classic Pinner – mesh lined zip vents, seamless crotch panel and uplift/ski lift pass holder.
