A waterproof rain jacket designed and tested for the specific demands of trail riding in the harshest wettest conditions. To create a superlight (175g) protective rain jacket for all-mountain riding we began by taking a page out of our road shell playbook and recruited its exceptionally breathable waterproof softshell material making it the ideal canvas to begin with for our TRAIL Rain Jacket. The next phase involved designing the jacket around our trailFit which is trim enough to avoid snagging singletrack tree limbs and boulders yet loose enough to give you a free range of upper body movement. Add fully taped seams throughout zippered front pockets and a double-slider zipper to the package and you have a watertight shell for any and all adventures where rain is in the forecast. 75%PL 16%PA 9%EA
Adaptable all-mountain riding shorts with a streamlined design ultralight textiles and comfort-boosting features. By poring over other “baggies” we saw how their panels always bunch in odd places and the addition of fasteners webbing and zippers all contribute to unnecessary weight and pinching during pedaling. Our minimal approach solves these issues with a waistband that smoothly holds the shorts in place a cut that’s trim to avoid saddle snag a length that’s ideal with or without pads and a versatile new fabric that flexes with each pedal stroke. 85%PA 15%EA
Competitively tuned bib shorts for cross-country racing and training with more speed than baggies and far more durability than Lycra. Sticks and stones shred lightweight bib shorts and they’re often unavoidable obstacles on trails. Our XC Bib Shorts balance the breathability and stretch of our road bibs with the thigh-girding protection of ripstop panels on the outer legs. The final construction is the result of prototype testing on the legs of our World Cup riders who swept the 2017 team standings while assuring us that these are the most breathable abrasion-resistant bib shorts they’ve ever worn. 65%PA 25%EA 10%PE

Bib shorts built for cross-country racing and training balancing the best qualities of road and mountain shorts in a World Cup-proven design.

Abrasion-resistant socks that bring ankle protection and total comfort to fast rowdy trail rides. We engineered the TRAIL Socks for all-mountain riders who prefer a less compressive more robust sock construction better equipped to shrug off grasping trailside brush.
