Hightail Shorts

So so long

Almost but NO!
The cut is great but a little long even with knee pads.

Cons:
-Weak buttons kind of an issue with all FOX shorts.
-the pockets are poorly placed and designed. How did that even get through RnD?!? Anything you carry or ride with sit directly on your hamstring and interferes with pedaling a great deal.
-Velcro straps have almost zero stretch to them. Kind of pointless at that.
-No waist pockets, really?!?

This product needs a complete redesign. Personally I would hold off buying these for this huge cost until they do. Trust me, you will be annoyed as hell with these.

These are a race-oriented short with a great slim fit and a length that covers knee pads comfortable. Without knee pads I find the length a little long. I love the rise in the back, but the side zipper pockets have an odd placement—phone and tools or snacks have too much room to move and swing when pedaling. The zippers are not welded and are a large-tooth, chunky light grey color. Material is heavy for trail rides, but definitely feel like they'll last.
