Specialized Emma Shorts (Women’s)

When it comes to women’s high performance mountain shorts, the look and fit can often come across as too burly. A common industry practice known as “shrink it and pink it,” that waves a lazy design wand on men’s styles and turns them into women’s, might’ve had something to do with that. Our Emma Trail Shorts, however, were designed, tested, and approved by a team of discerning female riders who demand superior fit, performance, and comfort. Our goal was to create a clean and simple pair of shorts that were super light, breathable, and technical, but durable enough for aggressive trail riding. That’s why the construction uses our new lightweight VaporRize™ four-way stretch woven fabric that moves and flexes with you at every berm and drop. The shorts also include two zippered pockets that provide a convenient storage solution for transporting your trail essentials, plus inside waist adjustment tabs that keep the outside waistband clean and non-obtrusive to packs or jersey fabric that can catch on exposed Velcro®. You’ll also find strategically placed laser perforations that allow for cool air flow and lightweight bonded plastic snaps that work in conjunction with a mesh gusseted fly to keep them comfortable while riding in and out of the saddle.

• Lightweight VaporRize™ stretch-woven fabrics place an emphasis on durability and moisture management, leaving you dry, comfortable, and protected out on the trail.
• Two zippered pockets provide a convenient storage solution for transporting your trail essentials.
• Inside waist adjustment tabs keep the outside waistband clean and non-obtrusive to packs or jersey fabrics that can catch on exposed Velcro®. These minimal self tabs ensure that the fit of the shorts is easily customizable and dialed-in, even when your pockets are loaded.
• Strategically placed laser perforations create a cool airflow through hot zones.
• Lightweight snaps work in conjunction with a mesh gusseted fly that replaces a bulky zipper to keep the center-front light and comfortable while riding in-and-out of the saddle.
• Deflect™ UV 50+ protects your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.
• 10.5″ inseam (size Medium) falls close to the knees, leaving plenty of room for light pads.
• Fabric Content: 62% Nylon, 26% Polyester, 12% Spandex
