Primal Wear

Onyx Modenza Loose Fit Short - Men's & Women's ($130 MSRP)

There’s a time for riding in lycra shorts, and there’s a time when street clothes are just fine. And then there are times when you want lycra performance without looking like a “MAMIL.”

Fortunately, Colorado-based Primal Wear offers an excellent “Lifestyle Apparel” line. These products offer performance and features fit for all-day cycling adventures, hidden in casual-looking shorts, jerseys and jackets. One great example of this is the Onyx Modenza Loose Fit Short.

It has features aplenty, like reflective strips, and a removable chamois liner. But here’s the bottom line: We’ve tested it on rocky, technical mountain bike trails and 50+ mile road rides. Before rolling out, we loaded the pockets with bulky things like smart phones and wallets.

Comfort was phenomenal. The cargo, meanwhile, stayed put and never got in the way. And when we arrived at our destination, we walked in and received no strange looks from the locals.

Match these shorts up with either Primal Wear’s Passport or Haven jersey and you’re ready to ride.
