FAQs
Do these shorts come with a built-in chamois?
No, this specific model is a shell-only version and does not include a liner.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the standard Troy Lee Designs sizing chart and utilize the rubber waist adjusters for micro-adjustments to find your perfect fit.
Can I use these for disciplines other than mountain biking?
Yes, their casual look makes them suitable for hiking, camping, or general outdoor activities.
How should I wash the Flowline shorts?
Wash with cold water on a gentle cycle, using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed for small essentials, though large modern smartphones may feel bulky; it is recommended to keep electronics in a secure jersey pocket or hydration pack.
Troubleshooting
Waist fit feels loose while riding
Tighten the rubber waist adjusters firmly; ensure the tab is locked into the designated slot to prevent slipping.
Fabric feels damp after long rides
Check that the shorts are not being layered over thick, non-breathable undergarments. Ensure the shorts are washed without fabric softener to keep the moisture-wicking properties active.
Pros and Cons

- Easy-to-use waist adjustment system for a secure fit
- Sustainable material construction
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, adjust the integrated rubber waist straps while standing in a riding position to ensure the shorts stay in place when you are hunched over the handlebars. Since these are shell-only, ensure your preferred liner shorts are compatible with a relaxed-fit outer shell. To maintain the performance qualities of the moisture-wicking fabric, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the technical treatments from the fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the elastic components and the fabric finish.
