Why We Use Cordura

Built for the Ride

When it comes to mountain biking, your gear needs to handle more than just a casual spin around the block. It has to survive rocky trails, unexpected spills, and long days in the saddle. That is why we use Cordura® fabric in our shorts and pants. This is not just any fabric. It is trusted around the world in everything from military gear to workwear. If it can handle that, it can handle whatever the mountain throws your way.

What Makes Cordura® Different

Cordura® fabric is engineered to be tough, abrasion resistant, and long lasting. It has been tested against the elements, against scrapes and slides, and it keeps performing where other fabrics wear out. The fibres are woven to create a balance of strength and comfort, which means your gear lasts longer without feeling stiff or heavy.

Durability: Designed to withstand rips, tears, and abrasions

Comfort: Tough on the outside, flexible enough for movement

Proven Performance: Used in outdoor, military, and professional applications worldwide

ONIT and Cordura®

At ONIT, we invested in using Cordura® because we wanted gear that works as hard as you do. Mountain biking is not gentle, and we do not want you worrying about whether your kit will hold up. Every pair of ONIT shorts and pants is made with Cordura® to give you confidence on the trail, whether you are charging down a descent or grinding up a climb.

Ride Harder, Worry Less

Cordura® fabric means you can focus on the ride, not on your gear. It keeps your kit performing season after season, standing up to the knocks and slides that come with pushing yourself and your bike to the limit. Because when you are “on it,” your gear should be too.
