UCI will let you ride in short's if you wish. You don't need riding 'specific' trousers, what's stopping you from just using cycle clips people use to save their's??

wind_up Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) to be honest bro, wearing trousers or shorts with koxx on the label wont be any better to riding shorts or trousers which feature the words 'adidas', or 'george' (from asda (as if you've never looked at the clothes!)). no set of trousers or shorts can be said to be trials specific because the body movements involved are not unique to trials so anything will do. if you buy a trials brand they will be expensive and wont make a bit of difference.i'm afraid ripping clothes from falling on your bum is going to happen riding trials. just take a visit to jjb, or asda (for your george trackies if you must) and get something cheap cos then it wont matter so much when you fall on your bum and rip them. or, brands like north face and berghaus make clothes out off fabrics with a rip-stopping material that minimise this.tip: if you go for shorts, get some that are made of fairly thick fabric so that they dont blow in the wind too much, as otherwise they can blow around and 1) make your legs look skinny 2) reveal little jonny to passers bytip 2: if you go for shorts dont think you can wear tights as a cheap alternative to leggings. it will be noticed and you will be escorted out of the trial....
