MTB pants have gone from being for downhill racers only, to everyday wear for an increasing number of mountain bikers. Full-length pants not only protect you from trail filth and debris, but in summer, they stop your legs from getting shredded by thorny foliage and help to guard against OD-ing on radiation emitted from that hot, glowy thing occasionally seen in the sky here in the UK.
On warm days, riding in MTB pants can get pretty toasty though. Enter Endura's lighter-weight, more ventilated MT500 Burner Lite range designed for full limb coverage when things heat up. I've been testing the MT500 Burner Lite Pants in a variety of temperatures for the past few months to see how they measure up when the mercury is on the rise.
