Description
Designed for riding in the hottest climates, the Hot Flash Short presents a summer option with cooling Brrr fabric, our Flex Air Lite chamois and breathable mesh paneling. It's the lightest weight short we've ever made and consequently doesn't have a lot of compression like a more traditional short. An excellent choice for super hot and humid conditions. 8.25 inch inseam.
Proudly designed and sewn in the USA at a green energy-certified facility, supporting local jobs and the highest standards in quality and fit.

product care
Remove your shorts and launder asap for best results as residual sweat may damage the chamois. Wash only in delicate cycle at 86 degrees. Use neutral non-aggressive detergents, keep like colors together and avoid dryers. If you use chamois butter/cream, your garment's ability to wick moisture will be greatly reduced and the durability of your chamois may be compromised. Note: we recommend that you wash new bottoms prior to use.

Too Long and Legs Baggy
"Just didn't like the longer legs, as they were almost baggy in the gray fabric area and overall way too long for my petite frame. Back to the Touring shorts!"
Comfy
"Shorts fit well and are very comfortable."
Light Weight
"am a road bike rider in my late 60s and live in the SF Bay area. Have used these shorts twice, once inside and the second time, outside, on a hot day, for a 30 mile ride. very nice light fabric, and really like the lack of grabbers on the legs and the double fabric there. did not ride up on my legs. recommend them!!"
Nice cycling shorts for hot conditions
"This summer has been unusually hot in many places. So, I wanted to get some light road cycling shorst. This is a lovely short in all respects, but the sizing is off. I am usually a small in cycling bottoms, and a small in Terry cycling bottoms. Occasionally, I have been a medium. So, I ordered the small but just in case also ordered the medium . Shorts arrived. I could get the small on but it was snug and uncomfortable . I think it runs small. Put the medium on, and that one fit me better. You may want or need to size up one size for this short depending on how you like your shorts to fit. I gave it 4 stars only because of the size issue. As between this short and the Rebel short (also for hot weather), I prefer the Rebel short."
Perfect summer riding shorts
"5'2' 100lbs ordered size small and fit is perfect. Usually I'm ready to immediately change out of riding shorts and these are so comfortable I'm no longer in a rush to change"
Good short but not my favorite in the heat
"I have become a convert to Terry shorts after many years of riding! The fit and cushion is fantastic. I decided to try the Hot Flash short because I live in the desert and the summers are brutal. This short has panels that allow better ventilation but the tradeoff is less grip at the bottom. Overall, they ride cool but since they ride up the shorter length doesn't provide as much sun protection for my thighs. I prefer the Chill 9 (since I'm 6' tall) for this time of year. Still a great short. I wear the Hot Flash for shorter rides and the Chill 9 for longer rides in the heat."
Love the fit and lightweight chamois
"I regularly wear the Chill short and was happy to see Terry make another short with the Flex Air Lite chamois. The Hot Flash short - I chuckle about the name - is another stellar, breathable short where a higher waist and leg bands stay in place. Gotta love the two-tone color!"
Great fit/comfortable material
"Very happy with my new purchase. They are super comfortable and breathable material."
Tiny pocket
"Short has nice light weight and the length is long enough to provide compression down the length of the quadricep. The waist pocket is tiny - large enough for folded cash. I need a holster pocket, so I returned them."
