road vs. mountain cycling shorts?

Is there a difference in cycling shorts that mainly cater to road bikers. I’m looking for spandex shorts but don’t know if a brand like pearl izumi will differ from Castelli. Is there a difference in fit/durability/anything. I don’t want to look like a dork with road shorts on the trail (If there is in fact a difference)

There are baggies with built in shorts specific to mountain biking, of course.

However, there are no lycra shorts specific to mountain biking. If you put a pro mountain bike xc racer next to a pro road racer, you won’t see a difference in the shorts. Castelli and Pearl Izumi both make great shorts, as does Louis Garneau. Borah is good at a lower price. I wouldn’t wear my best road wear on the trail because I brush things and crash once in a while. But don’t go too cheap or generic. Your personal equipment will appreciate the investment.

You may catch flack from some mountain bikers for looking like a roadie. There is no arguing with them. I just ride. And if roadie style shorts are good enough for the likes of Tinker Juarez and Steve Tilford, they’re certainly good enough for me.
