In the heart of a frost-covered forest, the seasoned mountain biker knows that good gear makes all the difference. The Minaki Shorts IV from Vaude are here to turn your winter adventures into comfortable and stylish rides. This men's insulated short is not just any short: it's the perfect ally for facing the cold with ease, thanks to its PrimaLoft® padding that keeps your thighs warm.
Technical challenges don't stop there. With its splash protection at the seat, riding on wet terrain will no longer be a problem. And for those who like to switch between intense effort and well-deserved breaks, the side zips lined with mesh offer custom ventilation. A little bonus? The handy zip pocket and elastic pleat that adjusts to every pedal stroke.
By choosing these shorts, you are also adopting an eco-friendly approach. The Green Shape label from VAUDE guarantees the use of sustainable materials and an Eco Finish that says no to fluorocarbons. So, ready to ride?
