Description
WHAT IT IS
Streamlined overshorts engineered for gravel and bikepacking, featuring a frictionless waist construction, gusseted leg openings, and abrasion-resistant textiles.
WHY WE MADE IT
The ZEPPELIN incorporates many of the same design features of our TRAIL Cargo Shorts, albeit refined for the unique demands of gravel and bikepacking. It’s 5cm shorter with a slimmer leg opening that can be zipped open to the same width as the TRAIL version. Generous reflective strips down the outer thighs help keep you visible if you arrive after dusk or your itinerary has you departing before dawn.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
Layer over our TRAIL Liner for summer gravel touring or thermal tights for additional protection against the elements and road spray of winter.

FEATURED FABRICS
The body textile, Type.OF11, is a lightweight, high-density bi-stretch woven material that resists abrasion, dries fast, protects with UPF50+, and sheds road spray, precipitation, and mud with a DWR treatment. Supplemented at the waist with Sens ST for stretch and comfort.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
Our regularFit in a streamlined take on baggies for gravel and touring with our standard leg length. Maintains comfort, coverage, and unrestricted movement in and out of the saddle.
ENGINEERING
- AZPtec: abdomZeroPressure waist adds accommodation and security without pressure. Incorporates silicone to maintain coverage whether tucked in the drops or breaking camp.
- Double-Slider Zipper: Zippers on the outer thigh secure the leg pockets from the top or open from the bottom to allow ventilation and increased freedom of movement.
- Hang Loop: An integrated loop lets you wash and hang-dry the shorts, keeping your equipment organized and ready to go in the morning.
