Do you hate taking a backpack on your rides? With the POC Resistance Ultra Shorts, there is so much storage space that won’t get in the way of your pedaling that you can forego the packs and just concentrate on your lines. Or even if you are prepared to ride with a pack, you can still keep things like your phone and cash close at hand and easily accessible. The material overall is super durable and scratch resistant, with extra robust patches on the rear for rip protection. They are comfortable enough to be worn on their own, but offer a roominess that can accommodate bib or padded shorts underneath. Mesh inserts in the thigh region help ventilate for those times you are hiking-a-bike. Fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment offers an environmentally friendly way to keep your butt dry even if rain showers strike.
