DAKINE

Syncline Short with Liner Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I run pretty hot on summer rides, and the Syncline Short with Liner is my go-to for keeping cool without sacrificing coverage. The fit is dialed thanks to the interior waist adjustments, and the laser-cut mesh panels do a great job of ventilating. While the liner feels bulky when you’re standing around, once you’re on the bike you won’t even notice it. These shorts stay in place over pads and stash essentials securely in the zippered pockets—no more worrying about losing your keys on a rocky descent."

When the heat ramps up and the climbs get steeper, we count on the Dakine Syncline Short with Liner to keep us comfortable and composed. Dakine designed these shorts with laser-cut mesh panels across the rear yoke and inner thighs, delivering breezy ventilation that feels like a relief on sun-baked singletrack. The adjustable interior waist cinches let us fine-tune the fit, whether we’re layering over pads or riding in just the liner.

The included liner may feel a bit bulky when you’re standing or hiking around the trailhead, but it all but disappears once we settle onto the saddle. Secure zippered pockets keep ride fuel and trail maps handy, while the thoughtful length stays in place to cover pads without restricting movement. From dusty descents to all-day loops, the Syncline Short balances durability and ventilation so we can focus on the ride ahead.
