Here are the latest updates from Patagonia’s Mountain Biking line, which celebrates every part of the ride—from the joy of the descent to the sweat and struggle of the climb.

Patagonia’s entire Mountain Biking line is made without perfluorinated chemicals, uses preferred and recycled materials, and continues to be made in Fair Trade Certified factories. Updated this season for the warmer months ahead are the Dirt Craft Shorts and the Dirt Craft Jersey. See the entire men’s collection here and the women’s collection here.

The removable, padded liner shorts have a contoured chamois and mesh panels for wide-open breathability. Low-profile, external hook-and-webbing waist adjustment provides a fine-tuned fit.
