Short shorts but good quality
Good quality of lightweight shorts but not excellent. I found my size 30 relative short not covering my knee joints. Also the 2 plastic closure buttons feel a bit cheap and when wearing gloves were hard to close. Other then that feel fine and strong while cycling.

Stylin’ MTB shortd
Great fit and style! Shorts have plenty of pockets and are very comfortable. Seem super durable too. Put a pair of bib liners on underneath and you are good to go for those epic rides

Great but of biking or not biking kit 👍🏻
Great material next to skin, fit to your contours rather than the usual baggy style you get with these type of shorts. Not too tight that you can’t get a shammy underneath though. Pockets aren’t a problem , you get used to just having side zip pockets which are handy, roomy enough for what you need and well thought out in design. Shorts look great as well both on and off the bike. I’d gladly wear them for a few pints on a summers evening. All in all a great price of kit Rapha 👍🏻

Nice shorts but needs more pockets.
Nice shorts for a quick outing. Really light weight but could use two more pockets on the front

Great but no pockets
This would be 5 stars , but no hand pockets . I hate the overly long and baggy mountain bike shorts, these are great. The one thing is I hand pockets , I don’t want to change right away and I found out I tend to like to put my hands in my pockets . Returned then for the explore shirts , been riding mtb and gravel with them .

Amazing, pockets could be better, awesome color!!!
I've tried a ton of shorts over the years and these and are the best ones yet. The length is perfect, nice and light (as the name implies, seldom the case with others) and fit is just spot on. The pockets could be better, and I'd deduct a point for that, but the fit is easily 6/5 five stars so still a 5/5 in my opinion. I'm 5' 10" 205 lbs, XL was good, with room, but cinched down perfect, L might have been ok, maybe I don't know.

Almost perfect for me, but probably great for you.
These really are almost the perfect bike short for me. They are so comfortable to ride with that I hardly know they're there. They feel like you're just wearing bibs but you actually have shorts with pockets on. They have endured big days in the saddle including enduro races! My only complaint is they're a little longer than I want but that because I have a short inseam and bigger waist.

Absolute fire; outstanding summer shorts
As with all the Rapha MTB gear I’ve tried, these shorts are 100% dialed in. Perfect shorts for summer riding in hot, humid conditions. Unlike other light weight shorts I’ve tried, these don’t have a tendency of sliding down over the course of a long, sweaty ride (even with slick bibs underneath and under the weight of a heavy waist pack).

Perfect Trail Shorts
Great pair of trail shorts that are light to wear and stretch to never get in the way. Zippable pockets on both sides is good for phone, gloves before/after riding, wallet - anything slim. The fit is great and the legs don't flap about, but there is plenty of stretch when pedalling or manoeuvring downhill.

The ones
These are excellent. Great for bike packing trips when you want to feel relaxed off the bike. Pockets are well though out with slots for phone/wallet that sit to the underside of the thigh when riding. Stylish, stretchy and super comfortable with no chafing too. Result.

Great shorts, impressed with pockets
Great pair of shorts, well thought out and especially the pockets… as someone who general rides with a road jersey (ie three pockets) it’s great that the size and positioning of the short pockets allow a phone etc to sit comfortably and not hinder riding. Nice one R

Runs small. Student cut. Size up.
Nice, stretchy, no pull, good closure, snug fit with low rise. Nothing worse than MTB baggy shorts that catch on the tip of the seat. Enough leg room for knee pads. Excellent styling. Not cheap. I've been riding MTB 40 years. These are the best over shorts I've had.

Strange fit
Had to return these… twice. I’m 5’10 155# and a perfect medium in road kit. The medium trail shorts were huge, but the smalls were too small in the thigh and bound on my leg. As with other rapha trail kit, the details are nice but the sizes are made for fat people.

Nice streamlined short
Like the slim fit of these as too many shorts cater to the enlarging of America/world. As a general short, the lack of upper pockets is a little odd to get used to but as a bike short, I can deal. Ordered the 30" waist and they fit perfectly.

Good shorts!
Light, flexible, fit close to my thin legs (waist 31 inches, I bought the small; medium probably would have worked just as well around the waist and allowed a little more air circulation up the legs while riding, but no complaints).

Comfortable and very light
Works well with liner. Fit is good. Pockets work well but not able to fit much. Ventilation OK. Smallest zip in the world. Even sale price quite a lot for a pair of shorts, but integrates very well. Comfortable

Light, stretchy, comfy, great fit.
Awesome light-weight shorts. They're fairly short, so if worn with knee pads you'd probably end up with the dreaded skin gap between pad and short. But I love these for XC MTB or winter gravel rides.

Great shorts!
Really comfortable and hard wearing shorts. I wear them on my mtb and gravel rides. Bibs are great and all but having your phone in the pocket rather than on your back is perfect. Love em!

Great shorts
Good fit with small adjustable band around the waist.
Patches provided in case of holes and scratches.
Enough give in the material for leg movement without feeling baggy or restrictive

A good short
Comfortable, cool, nice fit, quick drying, decent pockets. I appreciate the simple belt clips that do their job without having to futz with them. Would consider purchasing again.

Excellent short
Side cinches are a great idea; buttons are a touch fiddly, yet solid. Phone sleeve could be a touch longer. All in all, I reach for these over my Fox shorts on hot, long rides.

My new favorite mtb short
Finally a light and fitted mountain bike short. I was tired of the baggy basketball mtb short. About time a stretchy/fitted/breathable shirt came out. I will be buying more

Nice shorts.
These shorts are very well made, light, and comfortable. I’ve only tried them out indoors on the trainer - but they’ll be great outdoors when shorts season arrives.

loved the fit and flexibility with the side belt included. I purchased these specifically for that reason. I am a 30-31 inch wast and for me these were perfect.

All purpose shorts
Very nice shorts. Good quality. Sized just right. Will use them for travel as they are nice for casual about town wear and with a liner will be great for riding

Exactly what I was searching for
Perfect. If you don't like baggies but want to wear shorts over your chamois, these are the ticket! Tailored cut. I'm 5'10, 170 lbs and Medium size is spot on.

Excellent - I prefer to the normal Trail shorts
Excellent shorts - comfortable, decently water resistant and sit brilliantly over bib shorts...I prefer these over the normal Trail shorts here in England..
