Things to Consider Before Buying Bike Shorts

• Type. On the market you can find bike shorts for mountain biking and for road cycling. The difference is that the mountain bike shorts are usually baggy and have pockets on them, most often 2-3 pockets. On the other hand, the road bike shorts are tight and fit perfectly to your body. They have no pockets because the t-shirt usually has pockets on your back.

• Size. They can stretch but not too much. Too tight bike shorts and you might reduce the blood flow to your lower legs. Also make sure that the size matches your waist.

• Material. The more expensive shorts are usually made of higher quality material. The material should allow the skin to breathe and to ventilate. This way you’ll feel more comfortable and you’ll be able to perform better.

• Durability. This doesn’t concerns only bike shorts, you should always pick the more durable product, it usually ends up being cheaper, since you only have to buy it once.
