If you've ever wished you could just go for a ride in your perfectly worn-in, always loyal pair of board shorts, you're not the only one. While you may have been subjected to ridicule a few times early in your ride career for venturing out in a set of boardies, the folks at Club Ride have officially legitimized your love of coastal attire with the Synergy Short. The Synergy manages to combine both the soft, relaxed feel of a short made for sun and sand with the fit of an MTB short, and the result is a breezy short that begs for hot summer rides and refreshing dips in the occasional trail-side lake or stream.
