MX- & Enduro protector shorts: For a comfortable ride

Especially those who sit for long periods of time on the Cross or Enduro machine will be grateful for a little more padding in the seat area. Protective shorts are available for exactly this purpose, so that friction between the seat and seat/thigh is prevented. Even on particularly sandy or stony tracks, many riders are grateful for the extra protection if small stones or sand get into their shorts.

What are the differences?

Not only do most models differ in price, but also in other factors, where price is the decisive factor. For models in the high-priced segment, often higher quality materials are used, which makes the article last longer and also makes the wearing comfort more pleasant. There are also differences in the processing. High-end models are finer and more elaborately processed, which also makes the trousers more durable and adapts the shape more precisely to the body. And as with all other products in the Motocross range, ventilation is also a decisive factor here. This usually goes hand in hand with the materials, as high-quality material also usually offers better ventilation during the ride. If you only ride short distances, but you want additional protection, we can also recommend the products in the lower price segment. However, if you want to ride longer tours, we would recommend the more comfortable models.

Advantages and disadvantages of long and short models

Protector pants are available in different lengths to fit perfectly to the respective field of application. Short protector shorts are especially suitable for hot days or motocross races, as they offer additional protection without restricting the freedom of movement or comfort. The short shorts can also be combined with most knee pads or orthoses for even more protection on the MX bike. The longer shorts are especially recommended on cold days, as the length also provides additional thermal protection. Most of these models also have knee protectors built in so that you can save yourself additional knee protectors. Here, too, you should consider for which application you need the protector pants before buying.

Protector inserts

As with other protectors, the protector inserts differ in material. There are shorts with soft protectors, which are more comfortable and flexible, or made of plastic, which offer optimal protection. In the end it is your personal preference that decides whether you prefer to use soft or hard protectors. With most protective pants, the protector inserts are located on the hips and in the breech area. With long protector pants there are additional inserts in the knee area.
