FAQs
Can I wear these under tight cycling bibs?
These are designed to be worn as a base layer under loose-fitting mountain bike shorts. They are likely too bulky to fit comfortably under tight lycra bibs.
Are the pads removable?
No, the Strata-foam pads are integrated into the construction of the shorts for a secure and seamless fit.
Do these provide tailbone protection?
Yes, the design provides comprehensive coverage including the hip, thigh, and tailbone areas.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the Troy Lee Designs size chart, focusing on your waist measurement to ensure the compression fit is effective.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, but use a delicate cycle with cold water and always air dry to maintain the integrity of the foam.
Will these replace my regular chamois?
Yes, they feature an integrated chamois designed to provide comfort for long rides, replacing the need for a separate chamois liner.
Troubleshooting
Padding feels like it is shifting during rides
Ensure you have the correct size. The shorts should feel like a tight compression garment to keep pads locked in place.
Skin irritation or chafing during long rides
Check that the shorts are pulled up correctly and that the flatlock seams are lying flat against the skin. Ensure the garment is completely dry before use.
Shorts feel too hot during summer riding
Verify that the ventilation channels are not blocked by heavy over-shorts or jersey fabric tucked into the waistband.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct size to maintain the compression fit; the padding must be held firmly against your anatomy to be effective in a crash. These shorts are designed to be worn as a base layer. To clean, machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water and mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners as these can degrade the integrity of the protective foam and the elasticity of the fabric. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to preserve the foam's shock-absorption properties and prevent shrinking.
