We know a lot of people like to ball on a budget, but hand-me-down khakis only go so far when you're hauling for some air. You'd be much happier if you tossed in the extra dough for a pair of Dakine Descent Shorts to protect your legs from tree branches, narrow chutes and tumbles off the beaten path. The shell is constructed with hefty 600D polyester and coated with a DWR to protect the quads and deflect morning showers. The inside is lined with 120 gram polyester mesh and features a 4-way stretch crotch gusset, making these flexy, breathable and ready for riding from sunrise to sunset. While still leaving room for pads underneath, the Dakine Descent Short has got all the goods for aggressive downhill riders everywhere.
