The Ventor is our lightest, most breathable mountain bike short ever, utilizing our woven mesh Ventus fabric that offers superior air flow and moisture wicking to ensure you stay cool throughout your hottest rides. These shorts are cut narrow for a slim high performance fit. The Ventor Short is ideal for trail and enduro riding in warm and dry conditions
*These are slim fit fixed waist shorts. If you have worn other ZOIC shorts like the Ether or Guide, you may need to size up.
For best fit, measure around your waist where your your riding shorts actually sit , this may be different than size noted on other pairs of shorts. (our size 32 measures at 32".)
I live in south Texas, and it is HOT and humid here, especially in the summer. The Ventor short (and sometimes the Ventor liner) is super comfortable and cool — as cool as one can get when the heat index is in the triple digits!
The zipper pockets are great. They are deep, and the side zipper pocket fits my phone. If I had bought the iPhone 16 Pro Max, it would have stuck out a bit, but I can zip it closed with the Pro.
As for the Ventor liners, which I mentioned above, they are fantastic under these shorts. They have one of the best pads Zoic makes, IMHO.
My one request for the short would be a 9" short.
My only negative is they are a little tighter than the rest of my Zoic shorts, but the lightweight and ventilation are perfect for the desert southwest.
These shorts are truly light weight and the material breathes great. My go to on warm days. Definitely on the slim fit side, I needed to size up.
This short checks all the boxes. Light, breathable, and not too baggy.
