You'll forget about the loud rustling of standard trail shorts the minute you slip into the silent movement of the Giro Women's Arc Short. Designed with smooth-wearing ripstop, the Arc Short emphasizes trail comfort without the rustling noise pulling your attention away from chirping birds and rushing streams alongside the trail. This fabric is not only dead silent, but it's also tough enough to withstand the punishment of sitting on rugged overlooks and brushing by overhanging vegetation alongside the trail.

For added protection from passing showers and flinging mud, Giro employs a DWR finish that repels outside moisture and mucky trail debris. The ripstop fabric features a UPF 50+ rating, meaning you'll be protected from the sun's onslaught of searing UV rays. Its classic fit effortlessly slides over your favorite liner shorts, allowing you to customize the support and padding underneath. For secure storage, the zippered hand pocket is handy for tossing a few energy bars or your car keys while you're slaying miles of alpine singletrack.

Whether you're hoping to escape from a busy day at work with a quick evening trail ride or you have a full day of errands and bike commuting ahead of you, trying to carry around enough changes of clothes can be overwhelming. Giro hopes to smooth the transition between casual life and ride time with its new 2016 clothing, designed to fit in on the trail and in the rest of your everyday life. The Truant Shorts are a part of this line, constructed to offer dependable trail riding performance in the classic cut of casual shorts.

Giro starts by crafting the shorts with a durable nylon and spandex blend, which it then treats with a water-repellent DWR coating to help the shorts stay dry during wet rides. The Truant's 11in inseam suits it to trail riding, commuting, and daily commitments, and the roomy leg openings and relaxed but tailored fit can easily accommodate a liner underneath for longer rides. Giro also added an unobtrusive stretch panel to the rear of the shorts, which you'll be able to feel on the trails as you move around in the saddle. The shorts are finished with an inner adjustable waist that lets you fine-tune your ideal fit as your activities change throughout the day.
