This is the latest version of our all-day every day street / trail shorts for mountain biking and life in general.

Sifters are built to live in 24/7, but when you go bike riding they really shine. The new NzoFlex fabric uses Nylon and Lycra to be extra durable, tough but comfy with generous four-way stretch. And to get extra stealthy, we have put these together with Black stitching for a new look.

Features

The fabric has a very soft texture on the inside, and a durable abrasion resistant finish on the outside.

A seamless crotch gusset allows freedom of movement for pedalling.

Hand pockets are positioned to fold flat when you are riding, two side zip pockets on the leg are big enough for a phone, keys, a shuttle or lift pass and a bar or two.

The zip pockets are positioned so that cargo hangs low and to the back of your leg, basically out of the way. The zip pockets are lined with mesh so they will double as vents if that is what you like.

Fabric & Care

Sifters are machine washable, use a cold wash and put them in with similar colours.

Do not bleach, please don't tumble dry and no dry cleaning!

Product FAQ's

What’s the difference between Sifters and Dobies?
Great question (we get this one a lot!) Both are awesome all-round trail shorts, but Dobies are lightly padded and a touch more “deluxe”, while Sifters are unpadded and a bit more minimalist. Dobies are your go-to for longer rides or multi-day adventures; Sifters shine when you want something light, quick, and versatile.

Are Sifters unisex?
Yep! Sifters are designed to fit both men and women comfortably. They feature stretch fabrics and a very adjustable waist that adapt to a wide range of body shapes.

Do Sifters have padding?
Sifters don't have padding built in, but you can team them up with Cruiseliners, or our Deano bibshorts. Sifters have a seamless crotch gusset designed to work well with pedalling, and the Nzo gang are inclined to wear them with cotton or merino short leg undies. We don't reckon mountain bike riding needs much in the way of padding, but we are here for you if you do!

What are Sifters made from?
Sifters are built from a clever Nzo fabric we call NzoFlex. It's a quick-dry nylon/elastane blend with serious durability and heaps of four-way stretch.
This stuff makes Sifters tough, flexible, and ridiculously comfortable.

How should I wash them?
Keep it super simple by machine washing with like colours, ditch the dry cleaner and tumble dryer and hang them out ready for your next ride.

Made to endure

Nzo products have a reputation for durability. We are not sure whether that is because our stuff really lasts longer than average, or maybe our customers are the kind of people that keep things they love for a long time. Either way, it is the happy outcome of many years of product testing and refinement by our founders.

If we don't use it, we don't sell it. We use the stuff we design and make in as many conditions as we can find, sometimes all in one glorious outing like the one in this slideshow, the Old Ghost Road on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Products pushed to the limit on this trip were 247s, Gravelator, Short Sleeve Baselayer, Dobies, and Sifters. All are still in regular rotation.
