Picture MTB trousers and shorts
The Velan MTB trousers have a tapered cut that still offers enough room for knee pads. Both the trousers and the shorts can be fastened using a buckle fastener on the waistband. The two trouser pockets are each closed with zips so that nothing can fall out. Loops are incorporated inside the waistband to which the inner trousers can be attached.
DryNow technology is used in both trouser variants. A combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic recycled polyester fibres should enable moisture to be transported away from the skin to the surface of the garment. The Velan Pants are available in black for men and cashew for women. The Vellier Shorts are available in black and Dull Gold for men and in black or Cedar Wood for women.

Off Trax Waistpack
In addition to the clothing, Picture has a Hip Bag with 5 litres of storage space. The Off Trax Waistpack has several different pockets. One of them is specially lined with fleece so that you can stow your phone or sunglasses without scratching them. There are mesh pockets on the hip straps, which can hold energy bars, for example. The bag is impregnated with a PU coating to ensure that the contents always stay dry.
The developers at Picture have given the bag an interesting upcycling feature. If the Waistpack breaks, you can simply turn it into a toiletry bag. All you have to do is cut it open at the marked point, for which instructions are included. There is a choice of four colours for the waist pack.
