At Cognative MTB, quality is the baseline for every custom piece we produce. Our custom apparel is built from premium, performance-driven materials and tested on the rugged singletrack of Western North Carolina. From fabric selection to final fit, every detail is refined through real-world riding—and backed by thousands of 5-star reviews from riders who trust our gear season after season. The result is gear that fits right, breathes when it should, and lasts far beyond the first season.
Every custom order is guided by a dedicated Custom Program Manager who makes the process as easy and painless as possible from start to finish. You’ll have one clear point of contact overseeing design coordination, sizing, timelines, and production—removing guesswork, streamlining decisions, and keeping everything on track. The result is a smooth, stress-free path from concept to trail-ready custom apparel.
Our professional in house design team specializes in custom graphics that go beyond logos and colors. We specialize in distinct, rider-driven designs that tell your story, capture your identity, and create a cohesive look across your entire kit—helping your crew stand out and making your brand unmistakable on and off the bike. It's our passion to bring your ideas to life on our custom products.
If you’re local to Western North Carolina, we invite you to visit us at the Cognative Café retail store to see the apparel in person—touch the fabrics, dial in your fit, and try everything on before you place your final order. Not nearby? No problem. You can request a fit kit to be shipped directly to you, making it easy to find the right sizes and feel confident in your custom order no matter where you’re located.
Bodies aren’t one-size-fits-all. Riders come in different shapes, sizes and proportions, and custom gear should reflect that reality. That’s why Cognative’s custom program offers inclusive sizing from XXS to 5XL, so more riders can find performance-driven apparel that fits right, feels good, and lets them focus on the ride - not the fit.
I really like these pants for riding. Comfortable. Stretch in the right places. Keep me warm. I would consider buying another pair. They do feel a little tighter in calves and looser in thighs, that could be purposeful. I don't know as much about riding pants so just an observation.
I can’t believe how good these pants are. Adjustable waist, not baggy, so comfortable. I tried them and immediately ordered another pair and a pair for my wife. Do not hesitate. Just buy them. Thank me later.
Ordered total outfit pants and shirt. Nicely made, quality items, wears well while riding.
Theses are simply the best mountain bike shorts ever!
Everything about this short is a winner! The cut, the fabric and the features are all stellar. The fit runs true to size. Don't hesitate to purchase this short, not only for riding, but for climbing or around town too!
