Custom branded shorts for a mountain biking club are not the same as technical padded cycling shorts. The shorts in this catalog are athletic mesh shorts with your club logo printed on them: ideal for casual riding days, trailhead hangs, warm-weather group rides, and bike park summer sessions where you want to show club identity without a full jersey. Here is what is available, what fits which use cases, and how clubs add these to their shop without committing to a bulk run.
A clear breakdown of what this catalog offers for mountain biking shorts:
Athletic 7-inch Mesh Shorts (Sport-Tek, Men's): a 7-inch inseam mesh short in a lightweight performance fabric. Non-padded, no chamois, no liner. Best for casual riding, warm-weather trail days, and post-ride wear. Custom logo or text printed on the leg or waistband area. Base price starts at $26.88 VIP.
Ladies 3-inch Fitness Shorts (Sport-Tek, Women's): a shorter inseam athletic short in women's sizing. Moisture-wicking, lightweight, good for warm-weather trail riding. Custom club logo or text. Base price starts at $30.88 VIP.
Men's Performance Training Shorts (Bear Grips): a slightly longer, more structured performance short. Better for club branding events and presentations where a 7-inch mesh short looks too casual. Custom logo on the hip or leg. Base price starts at $44.88 VIP.
Youth Athletic Mesh Shorts (Sport-Tek): same mesh short design in youth sizing for junior MTB programs and youth trail camps.
What these shorts are NOT: padded cycling shorts with a chamois insert, technical MTB overshorts with knee pad compatibility, or waterproof trail pants. For those, a specialized cycling apparel supplier is the right source.
Custom branded shorts are most relevant for MTB communities in these situations:
Clubs that offer a matching shirt-shorts-hat bundle see higher average order values because riders buy toward a complete set. A natural bundle in the MTB catalog:
Bundle the three in a "Club Kit" section of the shop with a note that buying all three saves $X versus retail on individual items. Pricing these as a loose bundle (rider picks their sizes individually but finds all three in one shop section) increases multi-item purchases without requiring a formal pre-packaged bundle.
See men's MTB shirt options, women's apparel, and club hoodies for the full bundle options.
MTB club shorts sizing considerations:
Men's mesh shorts (7-inch inseam): the 7-inch inseam is a slightly longer fit that works for most riders. Not as short as road cycling shorts, not as long as basketball shorts. A versatile middle ground for the MTB community.
Women's fitness shorts (3-inch inseam): the shorter inseam is a fitness-style cut. Women who prefer more coverage can order the men's mesh short in a smaller size or request the 7-inch cut. Add both options to your shop if your club has diverse fit preferences.
Youth sizing: the Youth Athletic Mesh Shorts cover ages 5-14 approximately. For teen riders, check whether adult XS or youth XL fits better based on the size chart in your shop description.
