All-mountain shell shorts that fit nicely with today's do-it-all bikes, the Pearl Izumi Elevate Shorts can be worn with or without pads, whether you're shuttling or pedaling. They have a nice amount of stretch in their long-ish length, so they won't pinch or catch while you're spinning or getting low over your seat. With a DWR coating, they shed water and mud nicely for performance wherever the trail takes you.
