Clothing
Used MTB clothing from Fox Racing, Troy Lee Designs, Fasthouse, Loose Riders and Dharco — hoodies, tees, caps and shorts that carry the same design sensibility as their riding kit. This is the stuff you wear to the trailhead, the pub after a ride, and everywhere in between: built tougher than high-street equivalents and designed by people who actually ride.
Why buy MTB brand clothing rather than high street?
Mountain bike clothing brands design for riders first. That means reinforced stitching, stretch fabrics where it matters, and cuts that work on the bike and off it. Fox Racing's casual line uses the same material knowledge as their race kit, and Troy Lee Designs started as a motocross graphics company, so their casual wear carries decades of action-sports design DNA. You're not paying for a logo; you're getting clothes made by people who understand what riders put their gear through — the same thinking that goes into their MTB riding kit.
Which MTB clothing brands should I know?
Fox Racing is the biggest name — their Ranger, Flexair and Head casual lines are everywhere on the trails and in the car park afterwards. Troy Lee Designs blends motocross heritage with MTB culture, Fasthouse emerged from the moto scene with a stripped-back, retro aesthetic, and 100% started in goggles before expanding into lifestyle wear with bold graphics. Loose Riders and Dharco lean into loud, graphic-heavy designs, Mons Royale do premium merino-blend casual pieces, and Chromag and Sendy are smaller brands with cult followings.
Riding kit or casual wear?
Some MTB clothing sits between the two. Fox Ranger shorts work on the bike and in town, Endura Hummvee gear looks casual but has technical features like stretch panels and DWR coatings, and Troy Lee Designs Sprint stuff is genuinely dual-purpose. If you want one wardrobe that covers trail days and everything around them, these crossover pieces are the smart buy.
Does MTB clothing hold up second hand?
MTB lifestyle clothing holds up well to resale. Hoodies and tees from Fox, TLD and Fasthouse are built sturdier than fast-fashion equivalents — they survive years of use, which is true of both used hoodies and sweatshirts and used t-shirts and vests.
What should I check buying used?
Check for cracked prints on graphic tees, which is common after excessive tumble drying, along with stretched collars and pilling on fleece-lined hoodies. Fading from washes is cosmetic and often looks better with age. Shorts with technical features should be checked for working zips and intact DWR coating.
