Outdoor Research has spent decades designing durable gear—from their best-selling ultralight rain jackets to durable hiking gaiters—for all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts. This Pacific Northwest brand has built a solid reputation on high-quality, functional outdoor gear for the toughest terrains and most unpredictable climates. Now, Outdoor Research brings you a new collection born from the trails of the PNW: the Freewheel Mountain Bike Collection.

Outdoor Research’s new mountain bike-specific apparel is tailor-made for the rigors of mountain biking, and it’s perfect for riders of any skill level. They’ve put an emphasis on functionality and durability, so you can focus on good technique and not the fit of your gear. Before heading out to shred the brown pow, here’s an overview of a few essentials from the Freewheel Mountain Bike Collection.

Freewheel Ride Mountain Bike Shorts

The men’s and women’s mountain bike shorts are perfect for riding single track, gravel roads, and bike parks. Not too baggy and not too long, these stretchy ride shorts might be the perfect layer over your chamois.

Outdoor Research’s ride shorts are constructed with sturdy four-way stretch fabric and complimented with a 3D-printed overlay on the outer hems for extra abrasion resistance in high-wear areas. They also feature a contoured waistband with a higher back for great coverage in a seated position, a slide lock snap at the center front waist for secure closure, and a variety of other signature features.

Freewheel Half Zip Hoodie

If you’re a fan of the women’s and mens rain jackets from Outdoor Research but also need a bike-specific jacket to enjoy spring and fall riding when the weather is uncertain, the Freewheel Half Zip Hoodie is what you need. It features a 3-panel hood, strategically placed shoulder seams for comfort if you’re wearing a pack, and a drop-tail hem. For extended bike sessions, this quick-drying layer offers protection against the wind and moisture on cool days.

Freewheel Short Sleeve Jerseys

Giddyup with a short sleeve mountain bike jersey, available for both men and women. It’s a moisture-wicking, breathable top for trail and gravel riding, complete with UPF 30+ sun protection. Managing your body temperature during long climbs and heart-racing descents is more comfortable when you have a jersey that wicks moisture away from your skin and dries quickly. The Freewheel Short Sleeve Jersey is a great addition to your summer bike kit.

For everyone who’s stoked about mountain biking season, there’s plenty of other MTB gear to check out among Outdoor Research’s collection, not to mention best-selling gear in their rain hat, sun shirt, and rain jacket collections for all your other outdoor adventures.
