Mountain Bike Gear: MTB Kit, Protection & Spares

The Mountain Bike category at Foxracing.si brings together everything you wear and carry on the trail: MTB helmets, goggles and body protection, jerseys, shorts and gloves for men, women and kids, plus spare parts and workshop accessories. Whether you ride flowing singletrack, enduro descents or bike park laps, you will find kit here that is built for pedalling and made to take a crash. Every item comes from established cycling and moto brands, so you can put together a complete riding outfit in one place.

What you will find in this category

• Protective equipment and accessories – helmets, goggles, knee and elbow pads, gloves and body armour, together with the small extras such as pumps, tools and bottles that make a ride run smoothly.
• Men's collection – jerseys, shorts, trousers, jackets and base layers cut for a male fit, from lightweight trail kit to heavier downhill clothing.
• Women's collection – MTB clothing shaped for women, including jerseys, shorts, gloves and outerwear with a female-specific cut.
• Children's collection – youth-sized helmets, pads, jerseys and shorts so younger riders get the same protection and comfort as adults.
• Spare parts – replacement visors, lenses, pads, straps, liners and tyres to keep your gear and bike in service instead of replacing it.

How to choose mountain bike gear

• Riding discipline: cross-country and trail riding call for light, ventilated kit and open-face helmets, while enduro and downhill need full-face helmets, tougher shorts and more pad coverage.
• Helmet fit and certification: measure your head circumference above the eyebrows, check the brand's size chart and make sure the retention system holds the helmet steady when you shake your head. Replace any helmet after a hard impact.
• Protection level: soft, flexible pads suit long pedally rides; hard-shell knee and elbow guards and back protectors make sense for bike park and race days.
• Fabrics and weather: look for moisture-wicking, quick-drying jerseys for summer, and water-resistant or windproof layers for wet and cold rides. Stretch panels and abrasion-resistant fabrics matter most on shorts.
• Fit and layering: shorts should clear your knee pads, jerseys should sit loose enough over armour, and gloves should have no bunched fabric in the palm.
• Goggles and lenses: choose clear or low-light lenses for forest and dusk riding, tinted lenses for bright days, and check that goggles sit flush with your helmet opening.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a full-face helmet for mountain biking?

For trail and cross-country riding an open-face MTB helmet with extended rear coverage is usually enough. If you ride bike parks, enduro or downhill, a full-face helmet with chin protection is the safer choice.

What size MTB helmet should I buy?

Measure your head circumference roughly 2 cm above your eyebrows and compare it with the size chart of the specific model, as sizing differs between brands. The helmet should feel snug without pressure points and not move when you shake your head.

Should I wear knee pads for trail riding?

Knees are among the most commonly injured areas in mountain biking, so lightweight, breathable pads are worth wearing on most trail rides. Choose hard-shell pads when speeds and consequences are higher.

Are MTB shorts worn with a liner?

Yes, outer shorts are usually paired with a padded liner short that provides the chamois. Some models include a liner, while others are sold as outer shorts only.

Is there mountain bike gear for children?

Yes, the children's collection covers youth helmets, pads, gloves and clothing in junior sizes, built to the same protective standards as adult gear.
