I was looking to replace an almost 20-year-old old pair of mountain biking shorts that also happened to be Zoic. I figured they held up great for that long, why not try another pair? Glad I did. Extremely comfortable and seemingly well made. The padded inner lining works great, and all the pockets are well-designed and functional. I packed them on a recent trip to Costa Rica and wore them zip-lining and the pockets came in very handy. And they look great on and off the bike. Medium size fit perfect (6', 155 lb, 31" waist). Great price too, and if these last another 20 years then they'll probably be the last pair of mountain biking shorts I'll ever need! Would definitely recommend. Review: Great shorts, great brand. - I bought these ZOIC shorts to wear while riding my road bike. I know these are basically for mountain biking but I was looking for a nice, comfortable, loose fitting cycling short and these seemed like a good option. I am a 36 waist and the XXL fit just slightly too large. I have to use the velcro adjuster on the side to make them nice and tight. They fit perfect now. Perfect length. After a couple months of regular use (3 times weekly) the zipper on the right leg pocket became stuck. I pulled on it a bit and the zipper became disconnected so it doesn't close while zipping up and down. It's hard to explain but I am sure if you have used a zipper before you know what I mean. I emailed ZOIC and asked them about it. They replied to my email the same day and told me they would send me a new pair ASAP. 5 days later I had a brand new pair of shorts in the mail. I was pleasantly surprised with their customer support. Great brand, great shorts. I recommend them highly. ## Features - Superior quality and designed for performance, our best selling shorts with a detachable liner is for all types of riders in any trail conditions: cross country, all mountain, freeride, downhill and even urban and commuting - Rugged, relaxed and extremely comfortable these shorts feature a baggy fit yet is high on performance - Removable polyester/spandex stretch-mesh liner shorts wick moisture away and sport a built-in chamois pad designed specifically for men to resist chafing and abrasion - Fusion Inseam Gusset ensures superior range of motion and eliminates seat hang-ups, elastic-back waistband and hook-and-loop side tabs dial in your fit, knit mesh panels encourage cooling airflow between outer and inner shorts - Short Fabric 95% polyester/5% spandex, Liner Fabric 91% polyester/9%spandex, 12 inch inseam - New Duraflex stretch fabric on outer shell short ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B085CX9SKL | | Best Sellers Rank | #902,406 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #121 in Men's Cycling Shorts | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (655) | | Date First Available | March 31, 2013 | | Department | mens | | Package Dimensions | 14 x 12 x 2 inches; 4.8 ounces | ## Images ![Men's Ether Cycling Short + Essential Liner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vRATXw1mL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Same great quality as and more functional than older Zoic shorts *by C***E on October 30, 2017* Great shorts!

I'm new to the MTB scene, but this is my 3rd brand to try and these are my current favorite. This 4-star review is even with, not 1, but 2 problems: 1) After my 1st ride, I noticed my liner had a hole in them. It probably was there out-of-box and i just didn't see it. I knew that since this was the shorts + the liner in a 'bundle', it would complicate the return so I went straight to Zoic. I had already worn the shorts too, and I liked them so much I didn't want to send them back! Zoic handled it perfectly and extremely fast (it was resolved before I even got my auto-reply email from the web form submission!). My new liner arrived 4-5 days later in the mail...without a hole! 2) You'll see a lot of zipper issues in the reviews, and I had a problem too. My back pocket zipper is shot after just a couple of uses - the one you would put your wallet in if you're right-handed. The teeth are very small/fine and It appears they tried to make it almost invisible by stitching the material really close to zipper - maybe the material gets stuck in it, I can't tell. I just know it jammed after 2-3 uses. I tried for 15-20 mins to fix it, but to luck. Since the customer service was so awesome, I thought about sending them back as a warranty issue, but since this might be more of a design issue than a single faulty zipper, my new ones would probably do the same thing....so I'll just go with 'em the way they are. The pocket is deep enough where I feel comfortable with my wallet in it without it being zipped. I've also saw some negative reviews about the front/side zippers. Mine seem to be working fine, and I've used them a lot more (for phone & keys). These have a different zipper style and size, so all good so far. So, 2 problems, still 4 stars. These are the ones I reach for 1st. ## Frequently Bought Together - ZOIC Men's Ether Cycling Short + Essential Liner - Zoic Men's Ether Camo Mountain Bike MTB Cycle Riding Short Relaxed Fit 12 inch Inseam, UPF 50+ - Stan's NoTubes Tire Sealant --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/16112322-mens-ether-cycling-short-essential-liner](https://www.desertcart.us/products/16112322-mens-ether-cycling-short-essential-liner) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
