Review: Pearl Izumi Launch

The Launch is a trail-riding short that’s ready for the elements.

Loaded with great details, plus an effective moisture-transfer-management fabric, these shorts are comfortable no matter how long or hard you’re riding.

My favorite feature, besides the zippered thigh cargo pocket, is the detachable mesh chamois. I like being able to easily swap out liner shorts when on a multi-day trip.
