Showers Pass Continues Innovating to Protect Against ALL Element

Showers Pass has launched it’s first water-resistant at the Sea Otter show. The DWR Cross Country Short is the latest addition to their popular mountain biking short line and the first to be built with a DWR (durable water repellent) coated fabric. The Showers Pass DWR Cross Country Short comes in Black, and 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, and 40″ men’s sizes and retails for $95.

Showers Pass has always made highly functional gear with a specialty in inclement weather conditions. They utilize great materials, designs, and craftwork, and adding a DWR fabric to their excellent Cross Country Short family will provide a useful pair of shorts when riding in less than ideal weather.

Technical features meet versatile performance and customizable fit in this non-restrictive, tailored style short. An adjustable waistband and silicone grip strip allow the waist to stay in place on aggressive rides. The shorts feature a durable, brushed fabric on the rear; and a lighter, airier fabric on the front. With adjustable waist tabs and 4-way stretch construction, the DWR Cross Country Short provides the perfect fit on and off the bike.
