Ian
“Just received my new Shield shorts. Well made, good detailing, quick turnaround from order placement to receipt. Would normally wear Medium in Endura but as I’m 33 waist I followed the size guidelines and bought Large for these. Definitely the right thing to do.”

Lightweight Ripstop Fabric
Odyssey Activewear® Shield Shorts are made from ShieldTex™, a tough nylon and spandex ripstop fabric with a reinforcing grid that resists snags and tears, while 4-way stretch keeps it lightweight and flexible.
Adjustable Waistband
Dial in the perfect fit with the elasticated waistband to keep the shorts firmly in place. Moulded TPU tabs with integrated hook-and-loop grips make adjustment quick and easy.
Quality Finishing Touches
After finding the perfect cut and selecting the ideal fabric, we finished our Shield Shorts with details to match. YKK® zippers throughout, double heavy-duty snap fasteners at the waist, and luxurious embroidered branding in place of print.
