Fox Racing Dirtpaw Glove – Men’s

Tough enough for freeriding without feeling like a boxing glove on smoother singletrack, Fox Racing’s Dirtpaw Race Gloves use years of experience to keep you connected to the bike and comfortable on the trail. Fox starts with lightweight, breathable uppers, and then uses a lightly padded Clarino synthetic leather palm to lessen hand and wrist fatigue on never-ending stretches of rock-encrusted dirt. It also reinforces the backs and cuffs with direct-inject rubber to add some reassuring protection to vulnerable spots during crashes. Neoprene knuckles and silicone fingertips ensure ample dexterity on the bars while maneuvering through tight sections of trail, while a hook-and-loop closure keeps them secure without any distracting fit issues on race day.

Santa Cruz Bicycles Parallel Tech T-Shirt – Men’s

Starting from the valley, it’s a staggering 3,000-foot climb to the alpine crest, before plunging back across rocky slopes and lush forests. Slip into the Santa Cruz Men’s Parallel Tech T-Shirt before embarking on these all-mountain rides across large swaths of elevation and variable environments. It’s a bit more relaxed than XC fare, making it a great choice for your everyday trail rider. Lightweight polyester fabric rapidly wicks perspiration off your body, facilitating evaporative cooling on the trail. Plus, it’s decked out in Santa Cruz’s signature graphics, which subtlety pop without being outlandish like other jerseys on the market.

POC Avip Ceramic VPDS Bib Short – Men’s

In creating the Men’s Avip Ceramic VPDS Bib Short, POC set out to reinforce areas prone to nasty abrasion and tearing when you slide out on the road or suffer a particularly bad crash. In doing so, they designed this bib short with a ceramic print along the outer thighs that reduces friction on hard surfaces like asphalt, yet without compromising the fabric’s overall flexibility and comfort when you’re normally cycling. This ceramic print also enhances the bib short’s aerodynamics, as it works to disrupt airflow and lessen drag as you push down the road at a brisk cadence.

For the main body of the bib shorts, POC employs a compressive fabric with a good deal of stretch, so you’re properly supported for hours in the saddle. This way, your muscles remain stabilized while pushing themselves, but you’re never restricted from pedaling swiftly or getting out of the saddle on grueling climbs and sprints. This compressive, ultra-stretchy fabric meets breathable mesh bibs that stabilize the short in an upright position and prevent overheating by channeling in cooling airflow.

Delving into the heart and soul of this bib short, you’ll find a premium Multi D chamois with silicone-based VPDs inserts that reduce incoming road vibration and optimize airflow to prevent excessive sweating in the saddle. This means you’ll be able to finish longer rides without succumbing to irritation or soreness in the saddle, even if you’re riding over particularly rough stretches of asphalt that would normally cause soreness.

Dissent Ski Pro Fit Thin Nano Tour Compression Sock – Men’s

Dissent provides true graduated compression for backcountry skiers and freeride tourers with the Ski Pro Thin Nano Sock. Apart from reducing foot and leg fatigue, this sock’s compression fit also minimizes blisters thanks to the zero slippage of NanoGlide anti-friction fabric. Its super thin and ultralight design offers the most direct fit and feel possible.

SealSkinz Dragon Eye MTB Glove – Men’s

Hot days and rough trails are harder on your hands than your legs sometimes, and you can’t afford to have things like missed shifts and raw, bleeding thumbs disrupting your hours on singletrack. The Sealskinz Dragon Eye MTB Glove takes a less-is-more approach with a sleek, padding-free design aimed at giving you grip and dexterity on the bars without boxing-glove bulk. The synthetic suede palm is responsible for grip, and it’s backed up by an anti-slip liner to hold your hands in-place inside the glove.

Added touches like articulated knuckles, Lycra fingers, and an improved thumb design work to give you the same freedom of movement you’d have without gloves, while the completely waterproof outer liner protects your hands from weather and wind. The rubber pull tab and hook-and-loop strap simplify taking gloves off with tired hands, and a suede wipe on the thumb provides you with a safe way to wipe off your glasses or bike computer after unexpected encounters with the ground.

Hestra Ergo Grip Enduro Glove – Men’s

Charge down the mountain with the coverage and breathability you need with the Hestra Ergo Grip Enduro Gloves. This breathable gloves feature a synthetic back with a knack for pulling away sweat, and a durable suede palm that holds tight to your bars while you gobble up rock gardens and blast berms. The palm features strategic paneling to keep a comfortable, anatomic fit on the bar, and light padding for a bit of cushion just where you need it most. The fingers are reinforced with zigzag stitching to make for better articulation, while withstanding abuse, and the thumb, index, and middle finger all feature touch screen compatibility, so you can shoot your crew a text to set up a shuttle when you’re at the top of the mountain getting ready for your descent.

Troy Lee Designs Skyline Short-Sleeve Jersey – Men’s

When you and your squishy carbon dream machine head out for a quiet evening ride far away from the traffic and congestion of town, pull on the Troy Lee Designs Skyline Jersey before you go. This simple, straightforward MTB jersey doesn’t try to do anything distracting or over-the-top, leaving you room to focus on the ride ahead, and the views from the top. The Skyline’s breathable main fabric and mesh back work together to keep you dry and cool as you sweat it out on labyrinthine switchbacks, and it comes with a clean fit that will move with you on long, technical descents without feeling too baggy or loose.

Giro DND Glove – Men’s

Equipped for trail exploits and all-terrain pursuits, the Giro Men’s DND Full Finger Mountain Bike Gloves keep you in control on high-speed descents, while softening the blow of excess trail feedback and vibration. Its Super Fit palm uses three-panels of Clarino synthetic leather for a great fit with maximum durability, as demanded by the rigors of modern trail riding. Its moisture-wicking, four-way stretch breathable mesh upper keeps your hands nice and cool, especially when you’re riding on hot summer days. EVA crash padding dissipates vibration when you’re bombing down rough trails, and you’ll appreciate the silicone printing along the trigger fingers for maximum braking grip.

Club Ride Apparel Cog Jean – Men’s

We’re of the opinion that bike rides don’t always have to be Lycra-clad or ultra-technical. When you’re cruising around town or riding to work, more casual “kit” like the Club Ride Cog Men’s Jeans may be better than bike shorts or DH pants. The jeans still have the stretch and mobility you’d expect in cycling bottoms, though, properties they owe largely to their construction of StretchRide212 — denim and Lycra blend — and design features like a seamless crotch gusset.

The slightly higher NoCrackBack keeps things decent in the saddle, and a zippered side pocket secures your phone or other small essentials. The straight fit looks good on and off the bike, and the RideLight reflective accents on the side pocket, belt loops, and chain-side cuff help you stay seen when you’re riding home in the dark.

Showers Pass Transit Pants – Men’s

The Showers Pass Transit Pants are built to fend off any weather and get you through your commute happy and dry. Made of breathable yet waterproof Artex three-layer fabric with a cycling-specific fit, these pants provide some of the best wet-weather protection available. Showers Pass adds fully taped seams to fend off even the tiniest of water droplets and reflective elements to increase visibility in low-light conditions. These pants also pack easily into their own stuff sack for transport in case it starts to rain later in the day.

2XU Elite MCS Compression Short – Men’s

2XU has been designing compression clothing for athletes since before there was compression clothing for athletes. It hasn’t rested on its laurels, though. 2XU constantly pushes the science of compression forward to increase athlete performance and reduce injuries caused by high-impact workouts. The 2XU Elite MCS Compression Short takes compression to the next level with its revolutionary Muscle Containment Stamping system, which targets specific, high-risk areas of your legs and protects them while increasing your overall power and performance.

The Elite MCS compression Short is made with Invista Lycra for exceptional fit, support, and recovery. High-filament yarns quickly pull moisture away from your skin and move it to the outside surface of the fabric. The antibacterial fabric helps to manage odors and provides UPF50+ sun protection. Flatlock seams throughout its construction eliminate chafing and irritation. A drawstring waist offers a secure, adjustable fit.

The big story here, however, is Muscle Containment Stamping. MCS specifically targets muscles, tendons, and fascia groups that are commonly damaged during high-impact workouts. This revolutionary fabric support system focuses greater compression power to wrap precise areas and reduce muscle oscillation and damage. Front panels are built with 70D PWX fabric, while the rear panels use powerful 105d PWX fabric for added support for the hamstrings.

The results are dramatic. 2XU’s MCS compression system delivers greater power output, reduced long-term overuse injuries, faster warm-up time, and heightened proprioception (awareness of limb placement for agility).

Castelli Cento Bib Short – Men’s

Leatt DBX 4.0 UltraWeld Jersey – Men’s

Destined to be your favorite top for all-mountain rides and park laps, the Leatt DBX 4.0 UltraWeld Jersey employs MoistureCool wicking mesh that prevents overheating when you’re pushing uphill for the blistering descent that follows. It’s a great choice for the aggressive rider entering an enduro race or two, but mainly focusing on having fun on rowdy shuttle runs and lift-accessed resort laps.

Long-sleeve coverage integrates with your favorite elbow pads and body armor, all without being overly baggy with its athletic-stretch fit. To prevent abrasion from elbow pads, the elbows employ a thin overlay that’s resilient from rubbing, yet effortlessly flexible. The silicone hem gripper prevents it from annoyingly riding up as you charge aggressively downhill. Another useful feature, tape bonded seams provide a smooth feel without irritation pulling your concentration away from techy descents and big hits in the park.

Gore Bike Wear 30th Anniversary Phantom 2.0 SO Jacket – Men’s

Gore Bike Wear is celebrating the start of the third decade since it introduced the Giro jacket with the jacket’s versatile descendant, the men’s 30th Anniversary Phantom 2.0 SO Jacket. When the Giro debuted, it taught us that rain protection didn’t have to be the equivalent of a giant plastic bag, and the Phantom celebrates this heritage by continuing it with even more elemental protection. Gore’s venerable Windstopper Soft Shell material is windproof, water-resistant, and breathes to eliminate sweat and water vapor so one hard effort doesn’t mean two more hours of cold, clammy moisture under your base layer. The Phantom may be the ideal jacket for training through that base mile dead zone from late fall to early spring.

We love Windstopper fabric, but it’s hardly a rarity in cycling clothing these days. What really sets the Phantom 2.0 apart from the legion of jackets using similar materials are the sleeves. With a zip-zip the raglan sleeves come off, exposing short, soft sleeves and converting the Phantom to a jacket that’s appropriate for fall or spring. When in full-sleeve mode, the inclusion of stretch panels ensures a restriction-free fit that maintains better coverage while you’re stretched out in the drops.

The jacket is finished with a zippered underflap at the rear hem to protect you from wheel spray on wet days. Elastic bindings on the cuffs and hem keep the jacket in place, and three rear pockets provide enough storage for all your essentials plus the sleeves if conditions require you to remove them mid-ride. Reflective elements on all sides of the jacket keep you visible in low-light conditions.

DAKINE Prodigy Short-Sleeve Jersey – Kids’

Maloja BigiunM Pants – Men’s

The Maloja BigiunM Pants pack a big punch of functional freeride versatility in a stylish package. With slightly contrasting paneling and clean lines, these pants look great on any trail and feature zip-off lower legs for quick conversion to shorts when things warm up.

Made from durable Freeride Canvas, these pants are built to fend off annoying scuffs and tears to survive the toughest of trails. With strategically placed Softshell inserts at the inside legs and back of the waist, you’ll have total freedom of movement to shift positions and wrangle your way through technical curves or tricky park sessions.

Maloja pays attention to the little details to make your ride time easier, with thigh zippers for extra ventilation, adjustable cuffs with hook-and-loop closures, and tons of pocket space for toting ride necessities. So get out on the trail and have some fun in the Maloja BigiunM Pants.

Fox Racing Defend Fine Line Short-Sleeve Jersey – Men’s

Take on the toughest trails this summer in cool comfort with the Fox Racing Defend Fine Line Jersey. Breathable TruDri fabrics move moisture away from your body to keep you dry on warm, summer rides, while the mesh backpanel keeps cool air flowing to prevent you from being soaked in sweat.

Sportful Fiandre NoRain Pro Bib Tight – Men’s

The tricky thing about waterproof materials is that blocking water from one direction inevitably blocks it from the other. Sportful’s Fiandre NoRain Pro Bib Tights are the case in point. Compared to the Team and standard version, they block more rain and road spray, but they do so at a slight cost to breathability. That sacrifice is no big deal on base miles, though, where time spent in the saddle is more important than time spent hammering through intervals.

The reasons for the increased thermal protection and the decreased breathability are twofold. As in, they involve two folds of material on the leading panels. That extra layer of material creates a more robust barrier against wind chill and extra negative space to preserve body heat—again, more important for long, low-intensity miles. For quick interval or hill repeat workouts in cool weather, a lighter tight may be more appropriate.
