Specialized W Traction Short

Tough trails require durable gear, and the Women's Traction Short is designed to meet that need. Created with insights from top riders around the world, these shorts feature abrasion-resistant, four-way stretch fabric made from fast-drying yarns, along with laser-perforated vents to enhance airflow. Weighing in at only 168 grams—59 grams lighter than previous versions—they strike a perfect balance between lightness and toughness. The shorts come with a curved waistband and snap closure for a secure fit, and they include multiple pockets for keeping essentials close at hand. As a bonus, you'll also receive an iron-on patch for quick repairs.
