Ether 9 Short delivers durable stretch comfort in a shorter trail-ready design
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I ride in the Ether 9 when I want all the features of the original Ether but in a shorter cut. They’re breathable, durable, and have a ton of storage for tools and snacks. The fit is spot-on, and I really like the phone pocket placement—it stays out of the way while pedaling."
We know the Zoic Ether 9 Short is a trail favorite because it packs the performance of the iconic Ether into a shorter 9-inch inseam. Built from durable DuraFlex fabric, these shorts stretch as we move while resisting abrasion on tight trails. Integrated mesh ventilation panels keep airflow moving on hot summer rides, making long days in the saddle more comfortable.
The Ether 9 is built with rider-specific storage, including cargo and hand pockets plus a secure phone pocket that sits towards the back of the leg for added protection. Locking zippers keep everything safe even when the ride gets rough, while the Fusion Gusset inseam ensures unrestricted pedaling. With an adjustable waistband and micro-fit tabs, we dial in the fit and ride with confidence.
