DHaRCO Bike

Frequently Asked Questions

• What fit should I choose for DHaRCO Gravity Pants and will they work with knee pads like Fox Enduro?

  DHaRCO Gravity Pants come in slim and standard cuts with articulated knees and adjustable velcro waist tabs, so the slim cut is pedal-friendly while the standard cut offers more room for protection. They’re designed to accommodate over- or under-knee pads—if you plan to wear bulky downhill pads like Fox Enduro, consider the standard cut or sizing up one for comfort.
• Are DHaRCO jerseys suitable for all-season mountain biking and what materials do they use?

  Gravity and short/¾‑sleeve DHaRCO jerseys are made from 100% recycled polyester with 4‑way stretch and mesh side panels for moisture wicking and quick drying, making them ideal for warm to mild conditions and high-output riding. For cold or wet days they work well as a breathable base/mid layer under a waterproof shell rather than as standalone insulation.
• How do DHaRCO Gravity Pants compare to Padded Party Pants (undershorts) for long rides?

  Mens Gravity Pants prioritize abrasion resistance, multi‑panel construction and double‑layer knees for downhill and enduro durability, whereas Padded Party Pants are low‑bulk undershorts with medium‑density foam focused on saddle comfort. For long all‑day rides pair Gravity Pants with padded undershorts to get both crash protection and pressure‑point relief.
• What level of water resistance and durability can I expect from DHaRCO gravity apparel?

  DHaRCO uses 4‑way stretch nylon/spandex blends with a water‑resistant coating and reinforced panels (like double‑layer knees) for good all‑season performance in light rain and high abrasion resistance. They are not fully waterproof; for prolonged heavy downpours you’ll want a dedicated waterproof shell over the kit.
• Which DHaRCO pieces and protection tech are best for aggressive downhill and bike‑park riding?

  For aggressive gravity riding, the Mens Gravity Pants (articulated knees, 4‑way stretch, reinforced knees and waist adjusters) paired with RHEON‑equipped knee and elbow protection give a slim, low‑profile but high‑impact absorption setup. Combine those with a Gravity Jersey for breathability and padded undershorts (Padded Party Pants) for extra saddle comfort on long lift laps.
