Mt. Borah Bike Clothing Information

Mt. Borah had it’s break in 1996 when an avid bike racer sewed his first pair of baggy mountain biking shorts in response to a gap he saw in the cycling apparel industry. The bike shorts were a big hit among the offroad crowd, and set the bar for Mt. Borah to create functional cycling clothing for active people. Today, Mt. Borah stays true to it’s roots by valuing function and performance over popularity and prestige.

The manufacturer prides itself in not taking shortcuts when it comes to construction. All Mt. Borah bike wear is stitched in Coon Valley, Wisconsin. In addition, every jersey and pair of shorts is tested for performance. This means that if a product fails on a bike ride, it does not go on the market. (It probably also means that working at Mt. Borah is loads of fun!). Mt. Borah maintains that a rider should not have to think about clothing while on the bike. If the ride is comfortable, then the cycling clothing works!

In order to achieve maximum comfort, Mt. Borah cycling jerseys and bike shorts are constructed from lightweight, breathable fabrics that wick sweat away from the skin. The jerseys have two or three rear pockets for storage, front zippers for ventilation, reflective details, and are tagless to reduce irritation. The designs are bright, solid colors or fun prints, and some feature 100% recycled fabrics. Mt. Borah jerseys shy away from the skin-tight fit, so they accommodate more body types and are suitable as road cycling apparel, mountain biking clothing, and bike commuting gear. To meet the needs of more cycling enthusiasts, a range of plus sized jerseys is also available.

Mt. Borah bike shorts come in basic black, but the brand also branches out with newer, more casual designs. The baggy mountain bike shorts first made in 1996 are still in production, and are as popular as ever. Mt. Borah knickers and skorts provide fresh options for men and women, and all bottoms come in sizes from Small to 4X, so all athletes can ride in comfort.

Sprouting from fat tires and dirt trails, Mt. Borah brings a different energy to the sea of cycling apparel manufacturers who tote Euro-fashion influence and who drill pro-peloton prestige. Mt. Borah’s commitment to producing functional, durable cycling clothing that is tested for comfort has made it one of the fastest growing small companies in the country. The philosophy is simple: don’t think about the clothing, just get out and enjoy the ride!
