When not in action on your bike, the new 2-in-1 Venture gracefully shifts into a great hiking, pickleball-playing, international travel short. Years of fit refinement on other predecessors led us here. It’s always tricky with a fitted waist and woven fabric, but we’ve engineered a new adjustment system, applied Terry shaping to accommodate a cyclist’s unique muscle structure, finessed the length, and made it in two different fits (regular or relaxed). Next, we loaded it up with nicely organized pockets and added a full gusset through the crotch to avoid seam chafing. Sold with our stand-alone Universal Liner, you get the best of both worlds (padded or solo). Note: Regular fit is more streamlined through the hip, thigh, and leg.
