The Women’s Gravel Shorts are part of the new Cascade Collection from Showers Pass. I spent a lot of time in these shorts the last few months, from hot late summer rides to our recent beautiful, mid-60s fall afternoons. These shorts were comfortable from the beginning of the ride until the end. Stretch panels on both sides of the waist and on the back, coupled with velcro tabs help to ensure a good fit, making for a comfortable from the beginning to end of a ride. The stretch fabric used throughout did its part to add comfort throughout the ride as well. I really like these shorts, and with a couple of minor updates, like a lower rise on the front and all black material and stitching, these shorts would hit the mark on everything I’m looking for in baggy cycling shorts.

NOTES: 8″ inseam. Be sure to check sizing charts, as these shorts tend to run a bit larger than other brands.
