Your cart is empty.The ether 9 short is for those looking for something a bit shorter. Same great design and styling as the original ether short, now in a 9 inch inseam.

I really like the color and fabric. Based on reviews, I ordered an XL (I usually wear L), but even XL was tight, I could not fasten the front. I had to release the waist-adjust tabs on either side and stretch the elastic fully. The pant itself was a good fit and comfortable, but the waist was more like a Medium-Large.

Last pair lasted 12k+ miles, daily ride and wash. Not too long of inseam, so it doesn't rub your legs up. Little mesh area around the back for hot southern riding. Pockets are more than enough, but just in case you need more... Bike shorts are over priced, but these fall below the median price and last years with frequent use. The zipper finally gave out, and two holes wore through after 12k miles. Get them, they'll last you a while.

Very comfortable and well-made. Pockets are awesome. Note: I normally wear waist size 34, but ordered the XL shorts based on recommendations on the site. Perfect fit.

As some have stated, this short is too small. The description also hides the fact that the short comes without a padded biking liner. Who ever heard of a bike short that doesn't come with a padded liner? At the price point of this short, it is way to expensive just for the shell. I'm returing it for the size but am very disappointed that it didn't come with a liner.

I ride road bikes and I tour. I got tired of padded bike shorts and looking like a clown when I'm off my bike in town. So I bought these. With these shorts I've ridden all around Mexico, across the USA, and all around the Western USA. I put at least 10,000 miles on these shorts.Best thing about these shorts are the pockets. The pockets go backwards. So if you put your wallet in your front pocket, it NEVER bunches up or rubs on your thigh. The pockets go backwards so your wallet is really on the side of your leg.Second is durability. Spending that much time in the saddle I would guess the material, especially the butt area, would start to wear thin. It didn't. (I have to add that I also use these shorts for daily use and most recently hiking 400+ miles in the Colorado Rockies. Yes, I hiked in biking shorts. Best decision ever. But they did start to wear thin towards the end of the trip in the butt from sitting on the ground, rocks, trees, etc. This pair is my second pair in about 4 years.)The look great. In my opinion and from others. I could wear these around town and never stand out as much as I do when I wear traditional biking shorts. They are so nice, I started wearing them as every day shorts, even when I wasn't riding my bike.They are comfortable, and breath really well! I've ridden and worn these shorts scores of times when the temperatures are well over 100F. There is black, basically basically "see-through" material, around the waistband and in the crotch area that aids, very well, in the breathability of these shorts. It's see-through if you hold it up to a light. But in real life, no one can see through it and the material is tough as nails too!Lastly, I was in a wreck, a car rain me over. My shorts faired much better than I did, with only a few mild abrasions. They should have been shredded like I was. Somehow they stayed intact. While laying in the ER, they wanted to cut the shorts off of me. No way in hell! I argued with the doctor as I struggled to take the shorts off myself. Good thing I did, the shorts lasted me another year after that incident.This is my second pair, so yes, I would definitely purchase them again.

Was expecting a short that met the needs of a mountain biker. Nice material and the stretch panels allow freedom of movement. However if your not tucking a shirt in you will need to very carefully adjust the side velcro or end up getting scrapped by the velcro strap. Numerous pockets but not designed to be useful. Front pockets are not deep enough. Side pocket does not retain items on the side but allows them to migrate to the back. The pocket on the back of the leg is useless. Not big enough for an iPhone 12. Any item in the pocket is going to be in conflict with items in the side pocket. Zoic needs to try on and use the product before offering it for sale. Also, of possible interest the short runs a bit small. If the velcro issue was resolved and the pockets designed to actually be useful it would be a great pair of shorts. Otherwise only good.

The best bike shorts I have ever owned. Thin, breathable and stretchy. 3 zippered pockets for security. I bought without the liner as that is zoic’s downfall. The liner is not great but I use a pearl Izumi that is amazing.

These are high quality well fitting cycle shorts. The only thing preventing me from giving them 5 stars is the crotch zipper. For a high quality short at this price-point, the zipper in the crotch is too small and fragile. Put a heavy-duty zipper in these shorts and the would be perfect.

Great shorts! Perfect length—I’m 6’1” but have shorter legs and a long torso. Almost all MTB shorts are below my knees or at my damn shins. These are comfortable, just above my knees and the right amount of stretchiness. I have had two other pairs of Zoic shorts and they’ve been too long. Glad I went with the shorty-shorts.
