Having the right mountain bike clothing is not only essential for enhancing your performance but may also be a safety factor. You'll want clothing that is comfortable, moisture-wicking with layers to keep you dry and comfy across all the different te... I used to mountain bike many years ago and found having the right clothing, shoes made the difference in mind set too.  If you look good, you feel pretty great too!  I don't mountain bike anymore but I do still cycle.  Yesterday I rode with my husband, (he's an avid mountain biker)  50 km on country roads on my E-bike, sun on my face, beautiful day. Anyways I hope you'll find some great MTB clothing inspiration here.

Biking Shorts

For biking shorts you'll want fabric that is durable, stretchable and moisture-wicking. You'll have less chaffing on those longer rides and these short designs are styled and made to withstand rough terrains.

Hydration and Fuel

Keeping yourself hydrated and fueled up well is super important when you're exerting  yourself and burning energy while biking.  Running out of water and not carrying snacks is never good! I highly recommend always having more with you than you think you'll need.
