Product Information
Full details
The Endura MT500 Spray MTB Shorts are ideal for mountain bikers who frequently ride in damp, unpredictable trail conditions and require a balance between breathability and protection. These innovative hybrid shorts combine 4-way stretch fabric for mobility with a waterproof, seam-taped rear panel to block trail spray, ensuring comfort on wet rides. While they excel in varied weather, they are specifically engineered for damp conditions and may feel slightly heavier than lightweight summer-only shorts due to the protective rear panels.

FAQs
Are these shorts fully waterproof?
No, only the rear panel is waterproof. The front panels are designed for breathability and stretch with a DWR finish, which is water-resistant but not fully waterproof.
Do these shorts come with a liner?
No, the shorts are Clickfast compatible, meaning they can be attached to a separate Endura Clickfast liner, but the liner must be purchased separately.
Can I wear these on dry, hot summer days?
While you can wear them, they are specifically designed for damp and variable conditions. On very hot days, the 3-layer waterproof back may feel less breathable than fully perforated summer shorts.
How should I clean the waterproof panels?
Machine wash at 30°C using a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric conditioners to prevent damage to the seam taping and DWR coating.
What is the fit like?
The shorts feature a regular MTB fit with 4-way stretch, designed to be comfortable while pedaling and wearing knee pads.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the rear panel.
Ensure the shorts are clean. Dirt and debris can clog the waterproof membrane. After cleaning, apply a DWR refresher spray.
Shorts feel loose during high-intensity riding.
Adjust the Velcro side tabs firmly and consider pairing with a high-quality Clickfast liner to keep everything in place.
The DWR finish is no longer repelling light rain.
The DWR coating can wear off over time. Tumble dry on a low setting for a few minutes or iron on low heat to help reactivate the remaining finish, or re-apply a DWR spray.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, utilize the Velcro side adjusters to cinch the waistband securely once you have pulled on the shorts. If you use a Clickfast liner, simply snap the liner into the internal attachment points located inside the waistband.
For care, wash the shorts on a cool cycle (30°C) with a technical cleaner to protect the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent treatment. To maintain the waterproof properties over time, you can re-apply a spray-on DWR treatment if you notice water no longer beads off the front panels.
