FAQs

Are these pants compatible with knee pads?

Yes, the articulated knee construction is designed to fit over most standard mountain biking knee pads.

Can I wear these for cross-country riding?

While durable and functional, they are heavier than standard XC apparel and might feel warm during high-intensity pedaling in hot weather.

What material are the pants made of?

They are constructed from high-quality, durable polyester with specialized stretch woven panels.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Use the adjustable mountaineering-style closure at the waist to customize the fit, and ensure the silicone gripper is positioned correctly against your waist.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the pants feature zippered pockets to ensure your small essentials stay secure during technical riding.

Troubleshooting

Waistband sliding down while riding

Ensure the silicone print is clean and directly against your jersey or base layer; tighten the mountaineering buckle for a more secure fit.

Water repellency fading over time

Re-apply a DWR spray treatment specifically formulated for technical apparel after several washes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability 600D polyester construction
  • Excellent range of motion due to 4-way stretch
  • Secure fit with adjustable mountaineering-style closure
  • Fade-resistant graphics for long-term aesthetics
  • Internal mesh lining helps reduce friction and chaffing

Cons

  • Heavier feel compared to lightweight XC racing gear
  • Not intended for extreme heat due to protective density
  • Limited storage capacity for long-distance adventure gear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, utilize the adjustable mountaineering closure to tighten the waist until the silicone print sits firmly against your base layer. These pants are designed to be worn over technical base layers or directly against the skin thanks to the internal mesh liner.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash cold with mild detergent.
  2. Do not use fabric softener, as it can degrade the DWR coating.
  3. Hang dry to preserve the longevity of the stretch panels and synthetic fibers.
  4. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this may compromise the sublimation graphics.
