Trail baggy designed for performance and comfort in and out of the saddle.
A great short for free-ride and all-mountain rides, with a hard wearing shell that you can rely on and a baggy cut to accommodate armour. Comfort is provided by the stretch inner short and rear waist adjusters while temperature is controlled through the rear gill vents.

Baggy cycling shorts are a great way to stay comfortable on the bike without looking too serious. They generally have an outdoor style outer with a selection of pockets, superior models often have stretch panels for a better fit on the bike and offer more freedom of movement when riding. Hidden inside is usually a simple pad or a whole inner liner short, if not supplied you can use a liner short which are available separately. Pads are fine for short journeys, but for longer expeditions, it's good to have a complete short as this will hold the padding better.
Altura produce high quality cycling clothing such as cycling jackets, shorts, overtrousers, gloves and base layers. Altura consistently research, design and develop incredibly versatile, affordable high quality cycling clothing year on year. The Altura brand has become synonymous with value and performance and continues to be seen on the trails and roads everywhere. This is testament to the Altura cycling brand and all that Altura stands for.
These are the best budget shorts we've come across. The styling is clean and unfussy, with a lightweight but durable fabric and a stretch panel giving a 'barely there' feeling once on.
The mesh vents work well and the removable floating liner has a minimal but super-soft and comfy pad. Waist adjustment is via a simple tab pull at the back and the inside rear waistband is lined with wicking mesh.
The fit is less finessed than higher end models so that the waistband is a tad low at the back and there's some crotch puffiness, but a baggy short with a comfy removable liner that works this well for less than £50 is a no brainer.
Great value short that sets the budget standard
The Summit shorts are Altura's top of the range summer baggies, and they're clearly designed with warm conditions in mind. The outer shell is lightweight, with stretch panels around the inside of the legs. Altura has included distinctive mesh vent panels in the front of the legs, with extra vents at the seams on either side.
The Summit shorts have an entirely adequate three pockets, two open ones at the sides and a zippered one around the back. Many shorts on the market have more, but we're not sure why. One minor niggle is that the side pockets openings are mainly horizontal and positioned a little to the front - good for preventing stuff falling out, but they're a little tricky to stick a gloved hand into and the mesh liner tends to come out with whatever you've stored in there.
A standard zip and popper at the front hold the shorts up, while elastic at the back of the waistband can be tensioned with Velcro tabs at the sides to tune the fit. Leg length is fairly standard just-above-the-knee.
Inside is a detachable padded liner, with a fairly thin but well-shaped pad, comfy broad waistband and leg grippers. It's full Lycra rather than mesh, but it's substantially shorter than the outer shorts so you get a cooling breeze around your legs.
The Altura Summit shorts are solid performers, with all the features you need and none of the ones you don't. And they're keenly priced too.
