A rugged 3-season short that keeps cool and damp conditions at bay.

Like the Recon Jacket that inspired it, the Recon Short is built from WINDSTOPPER® fabric that is comfortable, highly breathable, highly water-resistant, and completely windproof. This combination of attributes makes the Recon an ideal choice for days when the rain comes down, or the trail spray comes up. Based off our proven Glidepath Short, the Recon uses articulated crotch and leg patterning that provides an optimal riding position and excellent freedom of movement. Factor in a slightly longer fit and scalloped leg opening - the front is longer than the back, adding protection while accommodating knee pads - and you have the ultimate off-season short.

The Recon has low profile built-in waist adjusters, and also has loops for riders who prefer a belt. Front hand pockets hold quick-access items and smooth out the post-ride transition to your daily life.

"The construction quality here is so good that you could wear the Recons inside out and they'd still look better than any other shorts. Also, the fit isn't just exceptional, it's perfect" - Mountain Biking UK Editors Choice - Trail Short Group Test.

"The cut (of the Recon short) is impeccably designed to work with the riding position and combined with the Eldorado, which looks like a basic tee but is shaped 'just so', it's like your kit is custom tailored" - What Mountain Bike Magazine

"Purpose-built, minimal aesthetic shorts carefully crafted with Gore-Tex Windstopper, ideal for nasty and unpredictable conditions" - Bike Radar
