Intro: Ride Further, Ride Unbound

When the trails get wild, your gear has to keep up. That’s why choosing the right pair of women’s mountain bike pants can make the difference between a good ride and a great one. From muddy winter descents to dusty summer sessions, the perfect MTB pants keep you comfortable, protected, and ready to push harder.

Fit That Moves With You

Riding pants shouldn’t hold you back — literally. The best MTB pants balance performance with comfort so you can focus on the trail, not your gear.

Look for:

• Four-way stretch fabrics for unrestricted movement

• Pre-shaped knees that accommodate knee pads without bunching

• Adjustable waist tabs to dial in a secure fit

• Size inclusivity — our range goes from XS–3XL, because every rider deserves the perfect fit

💡 Pro Tip: Always try your pants on with your riding gear (pads, chamois, base layers, etc.) to make sure they work seamlessly together.

Fabrics Built for Trail Life

You want MTB pants that can handle everything the outdoors throws at you — from Scottish drizzle to dusty switchbacks in Spain. Our fabrics are chosen to perform in any conditions:

• Lightweight & breathable for warmer days

• Water-repellent coatings to keep you dry when the weather turns

• Abrasion-resistant weaves that stand up to rocky descents and unexpected tumbles

• Quick-drying tech so you can rinse and repeat rides without the wait

🌱 Eco-conscious bonus: At Unbound, we use recycled and organic blends wherever possible — performance gear shouldn’t cost the planet.

Rider-Savvy Features You’ll Love

We build pants for riders — meaning every detail serves a purpose:

• Zipped, secure pockets for your phone and trail snacks

• Breathable mesh panels for airflow where you need it

• Tapered ankles to avoid chain snags

• Reinforced seams for all-day durability

And because MTB style is personal, we design pants that look good on and off the bike. That means subtle colouring and branding, flattering cuts, and designs that pair perfectly with your favourite Unbound jerseys and tees.
