Waterproof mountain bike shorts will help keep you protected from foul weather when you\u2019re out riding.<\/p>\n

Although the best mountain bike shorts<\/a> often include some protection from damp conditions, such as a DWR coating, sometimes you need a full-on pair of properly waterproof shorts.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll make things a lot more comfortable than riding on a wet, dirty seat pad and you\u2019re much more likely to want to stay the course rather than bailing and heading home for a warm shower.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also tested the best waterproof MTB trousers<\/a> for riders who prefer full-leg coverage, but shorts remain a good option for many riders through winter \u2013 and through the rest of the year \u2013 particularly if you wear knee pads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our pick of the best waterproof mountain bike shorts, based on a five-way test, that we\u2019ve put through their paces in the worst weather we could find.<\/p>\n

Further into the article, we\u2019ve got a buyer\u2019s guide explaining what to look for in the best waterproof mountain bike shorts, to help you choose the best option for your riding.<\/p>\n
