Why riders choose it
  • Stretch fabric moves with you, pedal without pull

  • Elasticated waist with belt for a fit that stays put
  • Multiple pockets, plus a large zipped phone pocket
Description

Building on the success of the Esker Cargo Shorts, the zip off trouser version gives you a year-round alternative. Two garments in one make it ideal for bikepacking overnighters and changeable weather, or for anyone who has ever stood over a packed bag trying to decide between trousers and shorts. Colour matched zips run down each leg, so the change takes seconds and looks clean either way.

Comfort comes from the fabric. A durable stretch weave lets you pedal without restriction, while a super tough seat panel takes the abrasion where the saddle sits and keeps them going season after season. An accommodating elasticated waistband with a belt handles the fit, and multiple pockets, including a large zipped phone pocket, keep your essentials secure whether you're riding, walking or sat outside a café.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length are the shorts once the legs are zipped off?

They finish just above the knee, in line with the Esker Cargo Shorts, so they sit clear of the pedal stroke.
Do the zips rub or catch while pedalling?

The zips sit above the knee and lie flat against the leg, so they stay clear of the pedalling motion. Colour matched tape keeps them visually discreet too.
Are they waterproof?

No. These are a durable stretch riding trouser, not a waterproof overtrouser. They handle dry and showery conditions well, but pack a waterproof layer for sustained rain.
Can I wear them without padded shorts?

Yes for shorter rides and commutes. For longer days, wear a padded liner or bib short underneath. There's no built-in pad.
How long does delivery take?

Standard UK delivery is 2–4 working days. Express delivery is available for faster shipping 1-2 days—just select it at checkout.
Is there a warranty on Altura products?

Yes—Altura products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects. If you experience an issue, our support team is here to help.
