Product Information
Full details
The Endura MT500 Spray MTB Shorts are designed for mountain bikers who frequently ride in damp and unpredictable trail conditions. These hybrid shorts offer the perfect balance of weather protection and freedom of movement, utilizing waterproof rear panels and stretchy, durable front fabric to keep you dry from wheel spray without restricting your pedal stroke. Note that while they are highly water-resistant in the rear, they are not fully waterproof across the entire garment, so they are best suited for wet spray rather than torrential downpours.

FAQs
Are these shorts fully waterproof?
No, they are a hybrid. The rear panels are waterproof with seam taping, but the front panels are water-resistant with a DWR finish.
Do I need to buy a liner separately?
Yes, these shorts are compatible with Endura Clickfast liners, but the liner is typically sold as a separate item.
Will these work with heavy-duty knee pads?
Yes, the shorts are designed with an optimized leg length specifically to prevent snagging on knee pads.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry these shorts to protect the waterproof seam tape and technical fabric treatments.
What is the best way to clean mud off them?
Rinse off heavy mud with a hose or brush, then machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle using a technical detergent.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zipped, but they are not marketed as fully waterproof, so keep electronics in a dry bag if riding in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the front panels
The front panels are water-resistant rather than waterproof. If the DWR finish is failing, wash with a technical fabric cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Shorts feel loose during rides
Adjust the Velcro side tabs located on the waistband. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider pairing with a Clickfast liner for a more secure fit.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shorts, use the Velcro side adjusters on the waistband to customize the fit to your waist circumference. If you are using Endura Clickfast liners, simply snap the inner loops into the corresponding attachments inside the waistband.
For care, it is recommended to wash the shorts on a cool cycle after muddy rides to maintain the performance of the DWR coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent properties of the fabric. Hang dry the shorts away from direct, high-heat sources to prolong the lifespan of the waterproof seam taping.
