What Makes a Good MTB Riding Pants?

Protection is only useful when it still lets you move.

Good MTB pants should protect without feeling stiff. Look for stretch, abrasion resistance, room at the knee, and a cut that will not catch on the saddle. The best pair disappears when you ride but shows up when the trail gets rough.
