MTB Long pants

[Pieter1]

Hi guys.

I'm thinking of getting long pants to ride in as I'm getting cut up by sticks and grass next to the trail. Problem is it is already hot and humid here so I'm looking for something that is not deigned for the winters up north. Does anyone know of a well ventilated pair of long mtb riding pants?

Thanks.

Troy Lee Sprint pants are pretty good. Bicycle specific, so lighter and breezier than MX pants.

I have a pair that I bought for slow techy stuff on the dirt bike and they are super comfy, they just don't like hot exhausts ????

The Fox Ranger Pants works really well, and is well priced. They just don't have stock at the moment.

You going to have a bad time in summer and long pants, regardless of the make or brand, you going to sweat bullets

What about some knee/shin pads?

I sweat bullets regardless. Did a run the other day and weighed myself before and after. I lost 2.5kg during a 5k run...

I wear them when doing the more gravity focused stuff here but, I did a trail ride here the other day where I was pedaling more so I did not wear them, the trail is so overgrown with all sorts of stuff and while the nicks and scratches are not much they are not lekker. Suppose I should decide if riding with longs are going to be more lekker.
