The MTB outfits have also changed a lot..

I actually think the opposite is true locally. Most ‘in style’ riders are rocking neutral tones, plaids, and Hawaii-an type shirts for the ironic moustache crowd.
Logos are out, understated is in.
Even at the local bike parks and Teton Pass.

It depends on the style of riding they do. I sress more like the second pic because im more xc. But i see guys in more padding hitting more aggressive trails and probably taking big falls. Mt biking used to be xc only. Now trail, downhill and all mountain riding have been added.

Who's wearing motocross helmets and gear? Maybe you've seen some lightweight full face helmets and mistook them for motocross helmets?

It’s really moved to un-logoed t-shirts and shorts in my area. Well, except today, when it hit minus 15 C.

I’ve been riding in a rider-dense area for nearly 20 years. I’ve never seen anyone dressed like photo #1.

I go out in my old Pearl Izumi jerseys, Sock Guys socks and lycra shorts and everyone else looks like picture #2

This post can’t be real.

What do trolls wear?

Must be the easy-bikers coming off the moto couch your seeing...

running and ducking...

except they dont look like that and they do look like the guy in shorts, moto gear hasnt been in style for awhile

the only guys still wearing moto gear tend to be older and grew up biking in the 90s/00s

im trend setting the button down polyester fishing shirt when i ride. Breathable, lightweight, fashionable, multiple chest pockets are excellent for tackle and / or extra gels and CO2

IMO lightweight breathable full face helmets are a huge improvement for people that like to ride aggressively on the downhill.

I wear one every, single, ride. Even when it’s 100f outside. I’ve got a few fake front teeth, so a chin bar helps prevent any expensive future dental work.

As for the shirts, I tend to wear wicking t shirts from random events. Like 5k’s I’ve done, volunteer events, that sort of thing. Other than that, it’s just knee pads and some basic shorts and socks. I do wear lightweight elbow pads every ride too though. Half the year they are under my base layer though, so it doesn’t look “too” moto .

The first one is the outfit I wear when riding my gravel bike. Keeps the drivers in cages away.

How rowdy is it? I love stuff with rocks that will slice your chest open.....So I typically wear #1 for shuttle days because those trails wear me out. Pedaling days I am #2....

I saw a guy wearing the #1 kit on my local bike trails. He was riding a Yamaha dirt bike.

#1 looks like a soldier from the game Halo...put the Xbox down and slowly back away.

The giant Honda logo is a dead giveaway. Six Star racing is a motorsports company in Belgium. Fox has crossover between motorsports and mtb, so I guess there's that.

One of my riding buddies wears this.

What's up with baggies in the USA? Where I live, in EU, most people wear lycra culottes, like on a road bike. It's more breathable, more comfortable and... ahem... lighter 😁

Also less durable in a crash, don’t have easy access pockets, and….
