We put 13 of the best mountain bike shorts on the market to the test to help you find the right pair to meet your needs, style, and budget.
For this buyer’s guide, we rounded up 13 pairs of the best mountain bike shorts on the market to test and compare side by side. We spent months riding in these shorts in every weather condition and temperature you can imagine on rides ranging from casual trail rides with friends, all-day suffer fests, big shuttles, and even a few races and gravel grinds. While testing, we focused on important performance characteristics like fit, pedal-friendliness, ventilation/breathability, and pocket design.
Getting shorts that fit properly is critical. The Velocio Ultralight Trail shorts are some of the best-fitting shorts that we’ve tested. As with any article of clothing, getting mountain bike shorts that fit right is one of the most important aspects of the purchase process. The better your shorts fit, the more comfortable they will be, and the less they will distract you from the important task of riding your bike.
Different brands use different methods of adjusting the tension of the waistband on mountain bike shorts. While different, they all work to achieve the same goal. Many mountain bike shorts have built-in waist adjustment systems that allow you to add or remove tension from the waistband to dial in the fit. This is particularly important for shorts that are designed to fit a small range of waist sizes, and they typically offer around 1-2 inches of adjustability.
Ventilation is approached in various ways by different brands and for different styles of shorts. Most mountain bike shorts are made from technical fabrics that allow for some breathability and dry quickly when wet. Some shorts are made of fabrics that are so light and airy that they barely even feel like they are there, allow air to pass through easily, and dry incredibly quickly.
