MTB Protective Shorts

Extreme mountain biking warrants as much protection as possible and that extends to leg armour.

Unlike normal cycling shorts, MTB protective shorts or armoured shorts deliver additional protection but are also lightweight and well ventilated to wick sweat and keep the rider dry and comfortable.

Popular MTB protective short brands include Fox Racing, Leatt and Troy Lee Designs to name a few, but no matter if you prefer downhill or freeride mountain biking, our range of armour shorts will help protect you from the rocky terrain.

MTB Leg Armour

Leg armour is designed to be worn under cycling shorts or trousers offering protection for the thighs and hips giving the rider additional confidence to attack the trail.

Armour shorts are also suitable for BMX riders, helping to soften the blow should you come off the bike. For flexible leg protection without any impact on performance, a pair of MTB protective shorts are a must.
