Next up from Club Ride Apparel are a pair of Zest shorts, in a shade lighter than black:
- These are short shorts! The Zest shorts have a 9” inner leg seam and on first appearances look incredibly skimpy. Perhaps it’s because we’re used to a longer leg due to winter, but I have a niggling feeling these may get snagged on the nose of the saddle.
- They don’t come with padding, so if you’re looking for additional comfort, you’ll need to buy some liner shorts with chamois.
- They have useful features for on the bike, two zippered pockets on the sides, elastic buttoned waist adjusters, a high-back to keep things hidden and reflective detailing on the rear to help you be seen.
- They are constructed well from stretchy material. Although these may be short, the fabric is soft, lightweight and stretchy so will give when you ride.
