The Altura Ridge Tier Waterproof MTB Shorts are designed for mountain bikers who demand reliable protection in wet, unpredictable conditions without sacrificing mobility. Featuring a high-performance 10k waterproof and breathable membrane, these shorts keep you dry while maintaining airflow during intense climbs; however, their robust three-layer construction may feel slightly heavier than non-waterproof alternatives on extremely hot, dry days.

Yes, they are designed for comfort during long rides, provided the conditions are wet or cool enough to warrant a waterproof layer.
While they are comfortable, the specific articulation and waterproof fabric are optimized for the riding position and may feel different than standard leisure shorts.
The Altura Ridge Tier shorts do not include a built-in chamois, so you should wear your preferred padded cycling liner underneath for comfort.
The shorts feature a relaxed fit to accommodate knee pads; we recommend sticking to your standard size unless you prefer a very baggy look.
The pockets are water-resistant, meaning they protect contents from splashes and light rain, but they should not be submerged in water.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the shorts and apply a specialized technical DWR spray, then tumble dry on low (if the care label permits) to reactivate the treatment.
Ensure the shorts are positioned correctly at the waist and check that the knee pads are centered; adjust the SR buckle for a more relaxed fit.
Check for dried mud or grit in the zipper tracks. Clean with a soft brush and water, then apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
For the best fit, use the SR buckle to tighten the waistband once the shorts are positioned correctly on your hips. If you intend to use knee pads, it is recommended to pull the pads up first, then pull the shorts over them to ensure the hem sits correctly over the top of the pad.
