Not your typical MTB short.
The Skid Mark MTB Shorts were built by riders who were tired of compromise.
Soft, stretchy, breathable, and built for everyday trail riding with a clean feel that doesn’t look or sound overly technical.
Slim enough to avoid saddle snags, roomy enough for knee pads, with extended front coverage and a higher back rise with a grippy waistband to keep everything in place.
A built in belt with G hook and snap closure lets you fine tune the fit whether you are mid ride or a few beers deep after.
Pocketing is dialed. Rear facing zip pockets are easy to access on the bike and eliminate bounce while pedaling. Rear zip pockets keep essentials secure off the bike, and front hand pockets keep things casual before and after the ride. All mesh lined to stay light, breathable, and fast drying.
Laser cut ventilation at the crotch plus our infamous arse steam release tech dump heat where it matters most.

New Favorite Shorts!
Perfect shorts! The length is great with knee pads. They’re definitely thicker than expected, and I imagine they’ll hold up well in a crash. Cool features and great pockets!

So Good You’ll **** Your Pants
The material is the perfect blend of lightweight yet tough for summer riding and will most definitely work for the shoulder seasons here in Montana. I dig the style!
