Cycling is a sport that gives many benefits both to body and mind, but the first thing to do is to get equipped properly with the ideal clothing to go cycling in complete comfort.
What does a MTB biker wear?
The MTB clothing is very particular: bikers use the so called “ baggy shorts” which are totally different from cycling bib-shorts, that tend to be far tighter.
The baggy shorts are shorts featured by side large pockets, to keep all accessories needed during a bike ride.
Under the baggy shorts boxers or shorts endowed with pads can be worn to make bike ride far more comfortable.
MTB gloves
Gloves are among the fundamental accessories for a biker, their function is essential: they protect the hand from possible abrasions that the palm hand may suffer during a simple fall, appearantly insignificant
The MTB gloves are totally different from the classic ones, the latter cover only part of the fingers; the classic ones cover fingers entirely, are useful both in winter and in summer and are endowed with reinforcements.
The summer model is made of light and also breathable fabric, the winter ones are made of suitable materials for thermal isolation: designed to meet every biker’s demand.
MTB jersey
MTB clothing is very wide and, for sure, baggy shorts should be combined with a comfortable and breathable jersey.
The jersey duty is the protection from temperature leaps, leaving the body temperature constant and thermoregulated.
Socks
A proper choice to face downhills without worryings is wearing a long sock with shinbone protections, that can be inserted and pulled out easily.
The sock with shinbone protections offer great breathability and guarantees an optimal thermoregulation to keep the foot dry also during physical activity
