This year I have been wearing the 'Descent shorts' and they are durable, comfortable, built for all mountain and trail riding.
One of the best features from Dakine is that they have made short right up to 40" and this has allow guys like me to be able to wear a quality short designed for Downhill Racing. The 600-denier fabric is stretchy, meaning it will move with you on the bike but it is also tough and features a durable water repellent coating that will shrug off light showers. Even on muddy days after riding they clean up as if they where new and can be ready for the next days racing or trail riding. The Descent Shorts have ratchet waist adjusters that allow for the perfect fit with the tucked in or out shirt depending on your style. These shorts have a tailored fit with extra room at the knees to fit over knee pads but they are also not to baggy at the same time.
The only thing that is missing from it is the back pocket which I must say I found to be an issue with the new phone sizes and wallets full of cards. They do have a pocket in the leg which is handy but I am a creature of habit and need that back pocket.
Overall rating for the Descent Shorts is a 9.5/10
