  Leatt 3DF 4.0 Impact Shorts

  Jeff in OR

  I like 'em

  Good, nice to wear under the breaches for additional support and padding. Stink washes right out.

  MSR™ Mid Layer Pant

  Jim in OH

  Comfy and a great value

  Great mid-layer for those not wanting to spend a bunch on some extra insulation. Very comfortable to wear on and off the bike - even when just lounging around the house or camp site.

  Alpinestars Bionic Pro Protection Shorts

  Luke in CA

  Protection in the right areas yet still breathable...

  For reference, I wear a size 30-31 waist pants (5'10", 170 lbs. with athletic proportion thighs) and found the size small Alpinestar Bionic Pro shorts to fit great. They do fit like a compression short, similar to cycling shorts with the exception that the frontal genital area is more roomy than typical cycling shorts, so it offers more comfort and ventilation on long rides. I found very few shorts offer upper pelvis bone the side hip bone protection, let a lone in the right area (these areas are prone to impact, abrasion and can be very painful). Unlike any other shorts I have seen, this short has an articulating pad around the femur/hip joint which "pivots" when you sit/stand, whereas other shorts bunch together when you sit. Very clever design. I am a big fan of Leatt gear, but found this short to offer slightly better placed protection and better ventilation than Leatt's top level shorts by a margin. Good protection can be the difference of taking a hit and then continuing to ride, versus linking home early.

  Alpinestars Bionic Action Protection Shorts

  Randall in AR

  Great purchase

  Good protection yet flexible enough that it doesn't bind or hurt after hours of riding. They aren't miserably hot in the summer and also tend to stay put (they don't ride up on me). True to size...order the same size as your underwear. Would definitely purchase again.

  Alpinestars Sequence Pro Shorts

  David in NC

  Needed one of these

  Seems to be good quality at a reasonable price. Could use a little more padding.

  Klim Aggressor 3.0 Base-Layer Long Sleeve Shirt

  David in CA

  Very good quality

  Very warm and comfortable and fits well under a riding jacket. True to size for me (XL) I've washed it a few times with no negative effect.
