shorts review
Nice, flexible material. Fits me well. Nice belt system. Needs some sort of back pocket(s). The side/cargo pocket would be better if the opening were a horizontal or slanted zipper rather than a vertical one. It's current design is not very user-friendly. And they should add a pocket on the other side that doesn't have a zipper at all, for slipping something like a cell-phone into more easily. The existing pocket, along with the special fastener (to close the pants), is over-design, or just trying to be different or cool. A simple, well-made snap would be better. I've come to see that Rapha is more about style/fashion/fad than utility. Maybe some of there stuff works beautifully, but the things we've bought or seen are not always easy to use.

Great first foray from Rapha
An Afan W2 test in these shorts and they proved to be great - comfortable over the top of D30 crash pants; perfect length, accommodated knee pads and no excess flap. Pockets well designed (managed to not lose my van key despite first set of descents with pocket unzipped). In the 34+ degree heat, they remained cool and didn’t snag on any of the encroaching briar.
The ‘button’ is slightly fiddly but solid. The fastening straps work well.
As a first release into MTB, these easily compete with the likes of Fox, Gore and Endura!

Absolutely awesome shorts
Finally Rapha is in the mountain bike clothing game. These shorts are absolutely perfect for the trail or general riding. The pockets down the leg are the perfect spot to stash your phone and don't get in the way of pedaling. Super durable material and comes with patches in case you rip your stuff up. They are the most expensive shorts I own but they are better than any of my Fox, Pearl Izumi, or 100% brands.

I never leave review but this is an exception
I really never leave reviews, but this time i would like to make an exception, because the pants are phenomenal! Ultra quick drying, extremely comfortable and you basically dont feel them while riding.
Pockets are unbelievably well thought out. Had a decent crash on the hip, where phone was located and since its positioned a bit further back on your thigh you dont fall on the phone. iPhone 13 max with genuine apple leather case fits snugly but securely.
I have collected quite a big collection of pants over the MTB years, but ive put all the rest in the closet and i only use rapha pants..
Bought trail cargo BIBs as well and they work perfectly togather with trail pants it really is my favorite set by far.
Im 190cm 115kg and ordered XXL.

Great Shorts
Probably the best shorts I have worn for trail. The button is perfect, pockets inside the side pockets to keep the phone out of the way. They breathe well and look nice. Real high quality material. I am 6 foot 1, 200lbs and got a medium. I am in between sizes so next time I would probably get a large, but also need to ensure they do not fall down at all.

Sizing is off
Inconsistent sizing. I ordered one Teal and one blue pair. The 34 Teal fits perfect but the 34 Blue is SUPER tight on the waist. I usually wear size 34 jeans but often need a belt, but these blue 34s fit like a 32. Weird how different colors have such different fits, makes me wonder but the quality control and long term build quality….

Ligeros, cómodos y prácticos
Lo que se espera de una prenda así. Ligera, teniendo en cuenta que la llevas encima de un culotte. Cómoda, no se engancha con el sillín cuando cambias de postura en el pedaleo (sentado/no sentado) y no notas su presencia como otra prenda más. Práctica, por la orientación de sus bolsillos y el cierre de cintura además de los ajustes laterales. Además es ideal para darle una segunda vida a tus culottes Rapha antiguos o desgastados. No solo para los montañeros, también te verás bien si eres gravelero.

These Shorts Rock!
I’m really impressed, they feel great to wear and don’t ride up your legs. No signs of wear after several long rides. I bought a second pair - I do this when I find something I really like.

Love the shorts, but shallow in the crotch.
Very shallow in the crotch section. I even returned my first pair and bought up in size to give that a try but that area was still shallow and very uncomfortable. Other than that it’s a great looking pair of shorts and I wish I could have made them work. Lengthen up that middle section Rapha!

Very nice shorts but be carefull on the size.
The shorts themselves are amazing, very simple design, nice pocket options and they match very well with the other Rapha gear. The only complain is that the size is a bit on the loose side, but that might be my body type, since I am tall and skinny, I went for an M size(this is my usual size for MTB shorts) and I have to tighten the straps to the maximum so they won't fall. Its wierd that I got the bundle with the bibs and the bibs are perfect, maybe even a bit tight.

Great light weight trail short for every rider!
The trail short from Rapha is perfect for all day trail rides, with plenty of pockets and adjustability, these are the shorts I grab for most of my rides now. The zip pockets are well placed that you don't have don't have the classic annoying rattling phone issue you get with most front on thigh pockets while basting down the trail. They are long and wide enough at the leg opening, you can fit knee pads without the a hassle as well.

Most versatile and comfortable shorts I own
Worth every cent in my opinion. Stylish enough to wear around town, hard-wearing to chuck around the trails and pretty much any outdoor activity (hiking, scrambling, etc). I find them super comfortable, and the pockets are really functional. I don't miss a hip pocket, and it would take a lot for anything to fall out of the front or thigh zip pockets. The small size fits my 28-29 inch waist and 30in inseam legs perfectly.

Amazing shorts
I purchased these for commuting and mountain biking. They fit great. I love the placement of the pocket for when you're riding. They work well as just short for commuting or over my bibs when the rides are longer. Like all of my Rapha road and gravel gear, these have a lot of thought put into them. They really are amazing shorts. FYI, the button is a slide. Totally almost busted my new shorts thinking it was a snap.

Subtle Perfection
Comfortable and durable fabric. Length is just above my knee … perfect. Colors (blue with orange logo) are pleasing and nuanced. Pockets! Zip pockets along each side and jean-like front pockets … deep and capable. Sturdy closures: zipper and snap-like fastener. And if all that weren’t enough, and sooo well done, there is an adjustable belt which functions well, comfortably, and is non-obvious.

Comfy shorts with decent lenght for taller riders
Comfy shorts with good length. I'm 32" W 34"L and these come just to the top of my knee. Some reviews warn about them being unusually long but I find them about right. The top button is a special popper designed to not pop open but I'm sure I'll forget one day and just rip it off. I think I'd prefer zips on the hip pockets too as I like to keep my phone in the top left one.

Best in trail
Fantastic pair of trail shorts. I have a pet hate of Velcro, and these have none. Good fit, a little snug round the waist ( I blame Christmas )
Well thought out waist adjustments making the The belt loops seem a little OTT, but they will fit a hip pack.
Only ridden with knee pads so far and a great fit.
Could be a possibly a tad on the long side, without the knee pads.

Great Rapha quality, low durability...
TLDR: great fit and finish, low durability. Love the fit and finish on these, they feel high quality like my road bike gear, nice zippered pockets, nice regular pockets for post ride. These did get some tears in the fabric after my first fall in them, which is a bit of a bummer for the price. We'll see how rapha does with their repair program....

Versatile shorts not just for biking
Advertised as trail shorts, be aware that these have no padding so you'll need to wear padded undershorts if you need ahem! protection. For that reason I used these for kayaking and walking in Greece and they were excellent, drying off quickly and the variety of pockets helped stuff all sorts away. Washed several times now, and as good as new.

My go-to MTB shorts for comfort and practicality
Amazingly comfy shorts with extremely well designed touches. The pockets have inner sleeves that something like your phone fits into and it doesn’t move around or fall out even if you leave the pocket is left unzipped. The material is great, with a slight stretch. The closure works on a popper slider system which is an additional or touch.

Very happy
These fit me perfectly and are very comfortable. (I have a 79cm waist and am wearing a small). There are small adjustment straps on each front side but these are not noticeable once you put on. Also the rear of the waist is slightly padded. If there is one thing to improve I feel they could be just a bit lighter as a trail short.

Quality,style & Comfort.
Bought for my very fussy cyclist husband and he was extremely happy! Apparently, Very Comfortable. Great length (he's 6ft 1 and they come below his knee). Great seam and pocket quality. Had to get a size up as they are sized quite small round the waste. Now wearing them to cycle in,but in truth he's wearing them all the time!

Better than expected
Light weight and perfectly cut for comfort on the bike. No dragging over the knee. Fell off recently and they cleaned up without a blemish. Nice waist adjustment means they stay up fine but still with enough elasticity to move with you. Great shorts that exceeded my expectation. Wouldn’t look out of place without the bike.

Don’t knock ‘em till you’ve tried them
OMG! I was a big fan of just wearing board shorts when going for a ride until a mate convinced me to get an actual pair of MTB shorts. I chose Rapha because I use the road cycling gear a lot. These MTB pants were simply phenomenal. I can’t believe I wasted years of my life not wearing them. So comfy, so relaxing. Perfect.

Perfect shorts
This shorts are excellent, they give you all the pockets from cargo shorts in a minimalist and frankly, incredibly clever way. They are pricey, but the material is breathable and elastic and it feels incredibly comfortable with no need for an extra belt. This are my definitive summer shorts, worth every penny.

Pleased with these.. from a gravel rider.
I like the pockets and material. The Medium size maxes out at about 33" there is very little stretch in the belt area. The waist size can be reduced with the tabs but not stretched so kitted up and exerting up hill needs to be sized right. I turned up the hems and stitched at the seam to suit myself.

Great shorts… sizing slightly smaller than usual
Really like the new Rapha MTB get up. It’s been well thought through, materials & details are on point. Shorts sizing is slightly tighter than I’m used to with Rapha road. I’m always a large & whilst these fit well, they are just a smidgeon tighter than I’d like. Overall though, really very good.
