Starting on mountain bike for 1st time

Hi.
Can any ladies out there recommend best shorts and where to get them.

Can't help re the shorts but welcome aboard from up the a509

sure @vickster or @Pat "5mph" will be along to help with all things soon

I tend to go for Pearl Izumi, Gore bike or Sportful as they come in larger sizes

Most brands are useless if you're a size 16 or bigger

I'm a road cyclist though, although I guess the rules are the same on an MTB

Thank you. I will give them a try. Used the boyfriends shorts last weekend. They did the job but would be lovely to have my own

I wouldn’t wear someone else’s padded shorts as they should be worn commando even if it were the boyfriend

Bit depends on your budget. Larger Evans stores usually have a good range although not if bigger than a 14

Decathlon stuff is ok too if closeby

If buying online and uncertain on sizing, use a company with free returns like Wiggle

Looks like there is a Decathlon in Milton Keynes so that's a good shout Vickster. They are really good value for the stuff they do @Beginning at 43

And it looks like we have one coming to the new Lakes shopping complex at Rushden soon

Dunno about mtb shorts but the latest bib shorts from decathlon were poor quality , thin material that bobbled and got holes in after a few rides.
DHB stuff from wiggle i have found to be pretty good.

Really sorry, can't help as I don't wear padded, hate the feeling of the ... erm ... stuffing
