Winter MTB shorts don't get any better than the Vaude Men's Minaki Shorts II, with a combination of stretchy comfort and padded insulation.

A superb update of a classic design, the second generation of the Men’s Minaki Shorts from Vaude does a great job of adding extra warmth for the winter, so you’re always ready to shred the trail. These shorts work brilliantly over a pair of aero-shaped tights with PrimaLoft® insulation, keeping wind at bay and forcing water to bead on the surface rather than soak through to the skin. The waistband is adjustable with Velcro®, and is cut slightly higher to promote better coverage, side zips allow for better ventilation when the road ahead starts to heat up, and articulated knees give you the perfect fit.

Finally, the Minaki Shorts are designed to be as ethically produced as possible: as part of the Green Shape label, it’s made with sustainable materials; the Eco Finish waterproofing is free from harmful PFC fabrics; and as a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, Vaude work hard to make sure that working conditions are monitored closely.
