Review: Showers Pass Apex MTB Pants

Showers Pass launched their MTB collection of apparel a few years ago, and since then I’ve been bugging the crew to release some MTB riding pants. In 2022 they finally released the men’s Apex pant, and I had to get a pair. The design of the Apex Pant is based off their Apex Short, which […]

Review: PNW Components Apparel Shuttle Short and Ozone Jersey
