Mountain Bike Shorts are a clothing item that can make the difference between a great cycling experience or one of significant discomfort. Since biking shorts are designed for different uses as well as high functionality, quality choices need to be made before hitting the high mountain trails rather than find out later that specific choices have painful consequences.
Mountain Bike Shorts ideally would be a combination that would be waterproof, breathable, extremely light as well as fitted perfectly. These shorts would protect the rider from thorns, branches as well as saddle protection. On top of that mountain biking shorts need to be utilitarian enough to be able to carry some of the extra things that tend to be rather precious on long bike rides in mountain country (after all there are no stores nearby).
Gore Mountain Bike Shorts have come along way to-wards accomplishing this, utilizing two layers to provide trans-alpine bike riders with very high levels of comfort, protection and reliability. First the outer layer of light nylon with a special ceramic print covering the thighs to help protect from thorns, branches etc. Next is the inner layer of removable spandex that is form fitting and wicks moisture to help reduce chaffing and scalding. Nestled inside the inner layer is a comfortable padding adapted to the mountain biker’s posture – one that reduces the pressure on the venerable contact areas, dries quickly and is ready for use the next day to reduce soreness on long mountain trails. The final combination successfully addresses the many challenges experienced in fluctuations of hot and cold weather producing arduous difficulties found throughout the trails in mountain bike riding.
