Full details
The EVOC Crash Pants are designed for mountain bikers and performance cyclists seeking high-level safety without compromising comfort during intense rides. These protective shorts excel by offering certified hip impact protection and an ergonomic, breathable seat pad, though users should be aware that the added armor can feel bulkier than standard cycling bibs under tight-fitting race apparel.

FAQs
Are the hip protectors removable?
Yes, the lateral protectors are designed to be removed for easier cleaning or if you are doing a ride where you prefer not to have the added protection.
Can these be worn under baggy riding shorts?
Yes, the EVOC Crash Pants are designed as a base layer and are ideal for wearing under baggy mountain bike shorts.
What is the impact protection level?
The hip pads meet the EN 1621-1:2012 Level 1 standard for motorcycle and cycling protective gear.
Are these suitable for road cycling?
While they feature a high-quality seat pad, they are primarily designed for mountain biking where impact protection is necessary; the added weight and bulk may not be preferred for road cycling.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the manufacturer's size guide by measuring your waist and hip circumference; the fit should be compressive but not restrictive.
Troubleshooting
Armor feels like it is shifting during the ride
Ensure the shorts are pulled up securely and verify you have chosen the correct size; loose-fitting shorts will cause the protectors to migrate.
Garment retaining odor after washing
Ensure you are using a detergent specifically formulated for technical sportswear and avoid fabric softeners that leave residue on the moisture-wicking fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum effectiveness, the crash pants should fit snugly against the body so the hip protectors remain firmly in place over the hip bones. When dressing, ensure the padding is centered laterally before pulling on your outer shorts. For care, the garment is machine washable. It is recommended to use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and hang-dry to preserve the integrity of the protective inserts and the elasticity of the fabric. Avoid using harsh bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the specialized OdorCrunch and StayFresh treatments.
