There is a style of MTB short I find myself wearing a lot, clean of line with not too many pockets. Easy but not baggy through the seat, slim through the leg but allowing for unrestricted pedal action, and long enough to just drop over the front of the knee. Simplicity is harder to get right; technical detail is everything, as is cut and fabrication.
Gore delivered all of these in the cool weather Fernflow Pant that I found myself living and not just riding in earlier this year, so I was interested to see if it managed to translate all of that into a short, which is never just as easier as, well, making them shorter.
