Product Information

Full details

The Endura MT500 Spray MTB Shorts are designed for mountain bikers who frequently ride in wet, muddy conditions and require a balance between freedom of movement and weather protection. These shorts excel by combining breathable stretch fabric at the front with a fully waterproof, seam-taped rear panel to block trail spray, though riders should note that the front panels are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof for maximum breathability.

FAQs

Are these shorts completely waterproof?

The rear panel is fully waterproof, while the front panels are water-resistant and breathable.

Do I need to buy a liner separately?

Yes, the shorts are Clickfast compatible, but the liner is generally sold separately.

Can I wear knee pads with these?

Yes, the shorts are cut to accommodate standard mountain bike knee pads.

How should I wash them?

Wash with mild detergent on a gentle, cold cycle. Do not tumble dry or iron.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zippered for security, but they are not advertised as fully waterproof dry pockets.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel loose during aggressive riding

Ensure the Velcro side adjusters are pulled to your preference and check that your under-layer or liner is properly secured.

Water is no longer beading on the front panels

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a high-quality DWR spray or wash-in treatment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against rear-wheel spray
  • Highly durable nylon material
  • Great mobility due to 4-way stretch panels
  • Customizable waist fit with Velcro tabs
  • Compatible with liner shorts

Cons

  • Front panels are water-resistant, not fully waterproof
  • Requires proper DWR maintenance over time
  • Not intended for extreme deep-water immersion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best setup, use the Velcro adjusters to snug the waistband while wearing your preferred riding jersey to prevent slipping. These shorts are compatible with the Endura Clickfast system; simply snap your compatible liner into the inner loops. To maintain the performance of the fabric, machine wash on a cold cycle and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. Re-apply a DWR spray treatment periodically to restore the water-beading performance of the front panels.
