Cycling, hiking, and water adventures. Gear that erases the boundaries of play.
Hello everyone!
RAL has just received a long-awaited new release to unleash our "impulses."
Introducing: the Doboom Shorts.
RAL treasures the adventure and sense of playfulness that expands through the fun tool we call a bicycle.
Imagine you're on a midsummer long ride, and suddenly, a crystal-clear river appears before you...
"Oh man, I want to jump right into that water...!"
Being driven by that impulse is surely a pure and fundamental human instinct.
And the shorts designed to fully embrace that impulse—
those are the Doboom Shorts.
But the true value of these shorts goes beyond water play. By connecting cycling, hiking, and everyday life, we have created what we’d call the ultimate "summer uniform."
A range of motion for endless play
The fabric is a lightweight and tough nylon. It offers durability that won't blink if you snag it on a branch while mountain biking, combined with the lightness and ease of movement that won't hinder your pedaling.
What you’ll notice is the astonishingly wide range of motion.
The gusseted crotch structure, which allows for a 180-degree split, ensures nothing holds back your impulses during any activity.
For those of us who want to play until we drop, quick-drying is a must. Whether you're sweating on a climb, caught in a sudden shower, or jumping into a river, you'll find they are dry before you know it. That speed is the ultimate weapon for those of us who like to hop from one activity to the next.
The waist belt can be adjusted quickly with one hand, and the mesh pocket linings ensure smooth water drainage without worrying about air pockets while swimming. They may be small details, but we’ve packed them full of functionality within a simple design.
Cycling × Hiking = Doboom!
These shorts truly shine on days when you mix multiple types of play.
- RIDE: Hem width that isn't too wide to get in the way of pedaling, plus a pattern designed for movement.
- HIKE: Leg length that makes stepping up easy. A clean waistline that won't interfere with your backpack's waist belt.
- CHILL: After your workout, just slip into some sandals and head to the local coffee shop.
Whether it’s a hard day of "biking to the foot of the mountain and pushing for the peak," or a chill day of "a quick morning run followed by coffee," there’s no need to change clothes. With these on, you can fully enjoy every field, from activity to chill time.
Details as gear
- Easy waist: Elastic waistband & drawcord that won't feel too tight during intense movement, and makes them easy to pull on and off.
- Smart storage: Pockets positioned so they don't hinder movement. Safely hold your smartphone, keys, and other small items needed during activities.
- Carefully selected colors: A range of exquisite colors that blend in with mountain greenery and city asphalt alike.
One pair for your summer adventures.
Walk the mountains, slice through the wind, and jump into the water at the end.
These Doboom Shorts are "gear" for adults who still want to enjoy that pure, childlike playfulness to the fullest.
Once you put them on, you'll realize their comfort and freedom are so great that you'll find yourself reaching for them every day this summer.
