Not your typical MTB short.
The Skid Mark Shorts are built for riders who want real on bike performance without the baggy, noisy feel of traditional mountain bike shorts. Durable, stretchy, and quiet, they move naturally with your body while staying out of the way when things get technical.
A mountain bike specific fit keeps excess fabric clear of the saddle, while the 12” inseam and slightly longer front cut provide clean coverage over knee pads. The higher back rise prevents gaps while seated, keeping everything comfortable and in place through long climbs and rough descents.
Storage is dialed with two mesh lined front pockets, two side zippered pockets, and two rear zippered pockets to keep essentials secure on trail. A grippy waistband paired with a G hook adjustable closure and snap button allows quick, precise fit adjustments, while water and stain repellent fabric and quick drying performance make these shorts ready for long days in changing conditions. Laser cut venting below the waistband improves airflow when the effort ramps up, helping keep things cool 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!
