The sturdy Novara Exposure double-layer shorts can take what you dish out, and their cool stretch-mesh liner with built-in chamois provides comfort on the bike.

  • Novara Mountain precurved microfiber chamois with high-density foam conforms to your body's contours; air channels maximize breathability
  • Chamois is soft and moisture wicking for comfort in the saddle
  • Silicone gripper elastic on inner shorts keeps them in place
  • Ergonomically cut with a gusseted crotch, shorts move easily with you to allow full range of motion

Snap not tight enough

        Comments about Novara Exposure Double Bike Shorts - Men's:

        I didn't wear these shorts riding because I didn't even get that far with them. When I tried them on at home and went to tighten the waist, the snap came undone. And no matter how I tried, I couldn't get the snap to stay together- it just wasn't tight enough. I have a pair of Zoic shorts that I love because they don't have a snap or zipper- just an elastic waist band with a belt to tighten. Also, they were quite large- I felt like I was wearing big board shorts over the liners. I will be returning them and hoping to find something better!

          Comments about Novara Exposure Double Bike Shorts - Men's:

          I use these shorts for my daily work commute (15 miles) and occasional forays off road with my mountain bike. They work very well and are extremely comfortable, though I've never gone over 50 miles wearing them. Haven't had any problems with the snap and own two pairs. Great padding!

          Yep... the snap is a problem. Just doesn't have enough hold. I took my shorts to an alterations shop and had a better one put in.
