Love these shorts, very flexible and comfortable. The color is a must to coordinate w/ several of Cognitives ladies tops.
These shorts are my go to favorites. With the best fit, perfect amount of stretch and perfect pocket placement I had to get two pair!
Fingers crossed they can make a pant the fits the same for colder days! 🤩
These shorts are great! They are a nice length and very comfortable on my 5’5’ frame. I love the waist cinching on the side to make them a little tighter as needed.
The pockets with zips help keep everything in its place while I ride the trails.
These shorts are great. Nice length to wear with knee pads. Lightweight quick dry fabric, pockets are in the best spots. And the adjustable waist is a bonus. They fit great and stay snug while riding. Highly recommend!
I love how lightweight these are. They'd be great in the summer. But they run small and don't fit and I can't return.
I have tried a number of mountain biking shorts and still haven’t had any luck. These are the closest I’ve come! Great waist band that was comfortable and made for a good fit. And the rise was high enough that it actually covered my bottom comfortably! Unfortunately the size 10 was just slightly too big. Like barely too big, but enough that I didn’t keep them. I also think I may prefer a shorter length. For reference, I am 5’ 6” and 162lbs and typically wear a size 30 waist/size 10. I loved the shorts so much, though, that I turned around and ordered three more pairs to try! I got the same ones in a size 8 and I ordered the 7” inseam shorts to try in both an 8 and a 10. Crossing my fingers for a winner! I’m super optimistic because I really liked the feel and comfort of the shorts, and I also love the gloves I bought from Cognative for myself and my two kids.
The shorts are a comfortable fit with adjusting hooks. The fabric feels nice on the skin. Of all of the places I visiting looking for mtb clothes, this site is the nicest. Customer service is outstanding.
They are great!
Love these shorts! This is my second pair.
Women's Guide Trail MTB Shorts (Black)
I was nervous about buying shorts online, but these fit perfectly! I measured another pair of bike shorts (my previous favorites) to get the right measurements, and I ended up with my true pant size (I'm 5'10", 150-155, usually a size 8). They're durable, and I like the length a lot! Can't wait to get another pair!
These shorts move perfectly with you while you are on the trails. They fit beautifully and they are super comfy!
I purchased these after getting the chance to try them on at a Texas Dirt Therapy event. I love that the pockets fit my smartphone and are positioned on the side, providing easy access without being bulky on a ride. As a tall female with zero curves but athletic legs, I struggle to find shirts and shorts that fit well. The hook and loop waistband adjustment is great as it allows me to take the waist in far enough to actually allow the shorts to fit me well in the waist. I would have preferred just a bit more room in the leg opening, but these are by far the best MTB shorts I've found for my body type and are now my go-to favorites to wear.
For reference, I'm 5' 9", 143 and purchased a size 6.
I finally got to wear the Trial Shorts this past Sunday - it was unseasonably warm here in Pennsylvania for late December. The fit is great - true to size. The material is soft and stretchy, making them very comfortable and move with you when you ride. No issues with sagging and getting caught on the seat during descents - the micro adjustments along the waistline are great to dial in the fit. I love the side pockets for keeping keys and things secured and out of the way. I can't say enough about these shorts - they were definitely worth the wait!
I love them! Stretchy material, big pockets, sturdy zippers. The waist adjustment system is really nice.
I really like that they fit like baggies but they are still “fitted”. With my big hips, a lot of shorts end up fitting me with excess material that snags on my saddle. These don’t have that issue!
For reference I followed the directions for their fit guide and ordered a size 6. I’m 5’5”, about 140lbs and 38” hips.
