The Real Talk on MTB Sizing: Why We’re Doing Things Differently
The Real Talk on MTB Sizing: Why We’re Doing Things Differently
Let’s not sugar-coat it—MTB sizing is kind of a mess. If you’ve ever ordered something labelled "women’s fit" only to find it clings in all the wrong places or feels like it was made for a completely different body type… yeah, you’re not alone.
At Trail Bloom, we’re changing that—because your kit shouldn’t be the thing holding you back.
✂️ "Women’s Fit" That Doesn’t Fit Anyone
Most MTB kit is built around a standard, limited-size model—then “scaled” up or down. The result? If you’re not the exact body they designed it for, the fit is off. Too tight on the bust, too baggy at the waist. Or worse—gear that technically “fits” but makes you feel like you’re squeezed into something not meant for you.
That’s where we’re different.
We don’t design for mannequins. We design for real women who ride—with curves, bumps, boobs, bellies, and thighs that power climbs and crush descents.
💪 Here’s What Makes Trail Bloom Fit Better
✅ UK Sizes 8–24
We offer one of the most inclusive MTB size ranges in the UK, with plans to expand to UK 6–26 in the near future. Because MTB is for every body—and our gear should reflect that.
✅ High-Stretch Technical Fabrics
Our jerseys and trousers use flexible, breathable materials that move with you—not against you. That means no stiff seams digging in, no awkward pulling across your back, and no feeling like you're wearing cardboard.
✅ Longer-Length Jerseys
No crop tops here. Our jerseys are long enough to stay put when you’re reaching for the bars or hitting a drop, with curved hems for extra coverage (especially if you’re not a fan of the low-rise look from behind!).
✅ Supportive High-Waisted Shorts & Trousers
We use wide, elasticated waistbands that don’t dig in, roll down, or cut across your middle mid-ride. Our MTB shorts and chamois are designed to stay in place—so you can focus on your ride, not readjusting every 10 minutes.
✅ No Sticky Grippers, Ever
You won’t find any silicone gripper bands on our shorts or chamois. Why? Because they’re uncomfortable, unnecessary, and we can do better. Our fit and fabrics do the work, not sticky plastic.
✅ Room Where It Matters
We test all our kit on riders with a variety of body shapes and make adjustments until it feels right. That means more room for hips, a proper shoulder fit, and shaping where you actually need it.

🧡 Fit Is Freedom
When your gear fits right, you forget about it. You ride more freely, focus on the trail, and enjoy the whole experience so much more. That’s the magic we’re chasing with every piece we create.
If you’ve ever felt left out by MTB clothing—or squeezed, squashed, or just uncomfortable—Trail Bloom is for you.
Because every woman deserves to feel confident, strong, and comfortable on the trails.
