Product Information
Full details
The Endura MT500 Protector Undershorts II are designed for serious mountain bikers who prioritize safety without sacrificing saddle comfort. These shorts integrate high-shock-absorption D3O inserts to shield critical zones during impacts while utilizing an antibacterial pad for long-distance breathability. While they offer robust protection, users should be aware that the added bulk of protective padding may feel more restrictive than traditional chamois-only cycling shorts.

FAQs
Can I remove the D3O padding?
Yes, the inserts are typically designed to be removable for easier washing and maintenance.
Are these shorts breathable?
Yes, they feature reticulated foam in the chamois and moisture-wicking nylon fabric to aid airflow.
How do I know if the Clickfast system is compatible with my shorts?
Look for small internal snap loops located on the inside waistband of your Endura outer shorts.
Will these shorts protect me in a high-speed crash?
While D3O provides significant impact resistance, it is designed to mitigate injury, not guarantee total protection from high-velocity crashes.
What is the primary benefit of D3O?
D3O is a non-Newtonian material that is soft and flexible during normal movement but locks together to absorb and dissipate energy upon impact.
Troubleshooting
Shorts shifting while riding
Ensure the hem grippers are clean of debris and positioned directly against the skin to maintain a secure grip.
Clickfast system feels loose
Check that all attachment snaps are fully engaged and not obstructed by mud or debris.
Discomfort from seams
Verify that the shorts are sized correctly; if they are too small, the flat-locked seams may pull against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the hem grippers are positioned directly against the skin or a thin base layer to prevent slippage. If your outer shorts support the Endura Clickfast system, snap the attachment points together to integrate them into a single unit. For care, wash these shorts in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always remove the D3O inserts if the manufacturer manual indicates, though many riders prefer to wash on a delicate cycle with the pads in place. Air dry the shorts away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the nylon and the integrity of the protective foam.
