Shorts That Work

The Virtue shorts rock. Nice and super stretchy. Durable. Comfortable. They are worth every penny.

Michael B.

Perfect MTB Shorts

I bought these for MTB and love them. The length is great and they aren't baggy, plus they don't get hung up on the saddle.

Alex S.

Love These!

Really nice stretchy material, zippered pockets so your phone doesn't fall out, and the built in belt to dial in the perfect fit.

The Swiss army knife of shorts. From casual to active they are the best short I’ve owned.

Some of my favorite ride shorts!!

Fits exact to size (but nice to have integrated belt). Fabric is super stretchy and i find that to be very important when looking for mtb riding shorts. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is that i feel it would be better to forgo the pockets in the back of the shorts as they can create hot spots but i understand they are not ride specific shorts. To be clear i do not feel the pockets but in a perfect world would like to see them gone. I prefer these over the Skidmark shorts due to material used.

Traveling, Pick Pocket resistant, great look and feel.

So I don't usually buy synthetic materials and have felt natural fabrics were the way to go. I have to admit I was wrong in that thinking as I simply love these shorts. It is breathable and feels solid like cotton but without the weight.

I appreciate the plastic coating along the waist but wonder how durable that strip is over time.

I specifically chose these shorts for the zippered pockets, since I will be taking these over to Europe and feel that these shorts could prevent pick pockets.

Overall I give it a 5 star. I ended up purchasing the khaki and grey pair.

The perfect all-around shorts

I'm a huge fan of these shorts. I prefer shorts with a 12" inseam with built-in belts. I've worn Zoic Ether and Prana Stretch Zion shorts and these Virtue Hybrids are made of the lightest and softest material. The adjustable belt is superior to that found on the Stretch Zion or Zoic Ether (which has annoying velcro straps).
