Who knows best what good MTB clothing is all about?

To make it quite simple… at Platzangst mountain bikers make clothes for mountain bikers, and for years that has been our recipe for success! At Platzangst, no piece goes into production that we wouldn't wear on the mountain bike ourselves. That way we make sure that each of our garments meets all the technical requirements. But the look of our MTB clothing is of course just as important. Every biker has their own individual style of clothing, and we’re proud to deliver the matching outfit. 

But what distinguishes MTB clothing from your "normal" clothes? If you're not exactly used to wearing suit and tie in everyday life, at first glance not so much ... Mountain bikers are known for their casual street style. It's more the features you don't see that distinguish good mountain bike clothes from everyday clothes. And because you don't see them, let us explain the difference here.

The two most important characteristics of mountain bike clothing:

At Platzangst, riders will find the right MTB clothing for their favorite sport that meets both requirements - a great look and perfect function. (Now you know the most important features that distinguish good MTB clothing from so-so mountain bike clothes.) And the function splits into two further aspects. On the one hand, there’s the wearing comfort. And then there’s also the durability, especially when it comes to clothing and MTB that’s a very important point. A whole lot of requirements! How do we manage to meet them all?

Mountain bike clothing to match your style

First and foremost, you have to like your MTB clothing, otherwise it will quickly end up in the back of the closet, and there it will stay. The first thing about clothing that catches your eye is always the color

What colors do you like to wear?

We want to make it easy for you to combine our MTB clothing, so we make sure that our color selection will not cause you any trouble. Just buy a few pieces that you like, and don’t worry about which of our shirts and jerseys you should wear with which jacket or pants, they all match! Your combination of colors can’t go wrong, that leaves you more time and head space for planning fantastic MTB tours. 

The perfect Platzangst cut for mountain bikers

On one hand there’s the color, but of course our mountain bike clothing also needs to be in great shape. Body-hugging and yet casual cuts characterize our MTB clothing. We plan our garments to be rather body-hugging. If you like to have a little more room, you can simply choose a larger size.

Perfect mountain bike clothes have to offer enough space to move freely, but not too much material that might flutter around you.

 

If you want to buy particularly comfortable MTB clothing, the pieces featuring "CF" are just what you need! CF stands for “Cross-Flex”, the material is flexible in all directions so it can adapt perfectly to your movements. 

Why mountain bikers wear Platzangst clothes

Of course function is not everything, mountain bike gear needs to look good too. Fitted and yet casual tailoring characterize Platzangst MTB clothing. Jackets, pants and jerseys are rather sporty and functional, while our t-shirts and hoodies work great as everyday streetwear. That way, true to our motto "WE RIDE FREE" we are not only at home in mountains and forests, we also inhabit urban skate parks and pump tracks.

The most important part of your mountain bike clothing: Platzangst pants 

Long, short or waterproof - our MTB legwear is the perfect basis for a bike outfit that adapts to any weather and the seasons. 

  • If you are looking for MTB clothing for the winter, you should shop for some of our long bike pants. They spoil you with a comfortable fit and smart details such as built-in ankle protection or water-repellent top layers.
  • For spring and fall, our zip-off bike pants are ideal. Long legs keep you warm on chilly days, when it gets warmer, you can just zip them off and stay cool.
  • In the summer, of course, mountain bike shorts are a great choice on and off the bike. Ours are lightweight and breathable, and if you like them extra comfortable, all "CF" shorts are made just for you! 
  • If even the worst weather can't keep you away from the bike park, be sure to wear our waterproof pants or a rain suit to keep you dry.

When it comes to mountain bike clothing, the devil is in the details. Small features such as a well-placed ventilation zipper can make all the difference!

 

Mountain bike jackets for rainy, windy and chilly days

The requirements for mountain bike jackets or rain jackets are particularly tough. They have to offer you wind and rain protection and at the same time they should not become too sweaty – breathability is a very important issue. Due to their great functionality, our Platzangst jackets are the perfect gear for alpine cycling tours or demanding trail riding, but they are also happy to accompany you on non-biking outdoor activities. Our high-quality bike jackets benefit from good air ventilation on the inside and optimal weather protection on the outside.

Our jackets play a vital role in keeping you comfortable on your winter MTB rides, where it is recommended to buy several thin layers and wear or store them as you go. Simply layer a t-shirt, a long sleeve, one of our hoodies and a windproof bike jacket and you have a warming outfit that you can adjust piece by piece when you get warm. Of course you can simply buy a winter jacket. All things put together, Platzangst belongs to one of the best MTB clothing brands you can wear.

If you’re wearing Platzangst shirts, the style of your MTB outfit speaks for itself. If you like your shirts rather plain, you can simply put on one of our more simplistic shirts that sport only our logo printJerseys with a larger print are of course a little more obvious, they make it clear where you’d prefer to be right now – out on the trail, and on your MTB!
