Where can I get the most comfortable mountain biking shorts on earth?

Funny you should ask! You can find Nzo Dobies right here at nzoactive.com. And while we would never have come up with such an outrageous statement, plenty of knowledgeable people have. Some of these reviews are deeply historical, as in ‘old’, but as the concepts for our short have not changed (because the activity they were created for has not changed) we reckon the reviews are as relevant today as they were when they were written.

What are the best mountain bike pants for cold weather?

Nzo 247s are popular with riders all year round, but when it is cold they really shine. 247s are designed as a piece of apparel you can flog out on the trails, and wear on the street.

What are the most durable shorts for mountain biking?

We don’t know whether our shorts really outlast anything else available, or something about our brand attracts people who hate replacing their shorts, but that is exactly the usual outcome of selling a pair. We are told again and again that Nzo shorts last forever, which is a long time. We have even had stories of examples of Nzo shorts that have lasted longer than we have been in business, so we know there is a certain amount of hyperbole involved, but we do appreciate the thought. An example: “Only shorts that last longer are all the other ones I can’t bring myself to wear again once I had worn my first pair of Sifters.”
