Full details
The Troy Lee Designs Skyline Air MTB Shorts are designed for mountain bikers who prioritize breathability and comfort during high-intensity trail sessions. Featuring an upgraded perforated 4-way stretch fabric and a plush fused waistband, these shorts provide excellent mobility and a secure fit. While they excel in moisture management and durability, the relaxed cut may feel too loose for riders who prefer a tight, aerodynamic aesthetic.

FAQs
Do these shorts come with a chamois?
No, these are shell shorts and do not include a chamois liner.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
Yes, the deep zippered pockets are designed to accommodate most modern smartphones securely.
Can I use these for other activities besides mountain biking?
Yes, their durable, breathable, and comfortable design makes them suitable for hiking and other outdoor activities.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the manufacturer's size chart based on your waist measurement in inches, keeping in mind the adjustable Velcro waist allows for some flexibility.
Is the fabric prone to snagging on trail debris?
While durable, the 4-way stretch material is designed for performance; avoid sharp, thorny undergrowth when possible to maintain the fabric's appearance.
Troubleshooting
Waistband slipping during technical sections
Ensure the silicone grippers are clean of mud or debris; re-tighten the Velcro adjusters to a snugger setting.
Water soaking into the fabric during wet rides
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the shorts and apply a spray-on DWR revitalizer to restore water repellency.
Difficulty zipping pockets while wearing gloves
Ensure the zipper track is free of dirt; if stiff, apply a dry silicone lubricant to the track.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent ventilation thanks to perforated panels
- Highly durable and water-repellent materials
- Secure, adjustable fit that stays in place
- Functional storage with deep zippered pockets
Cons
- Relaxed fit may not appeal to those preferring slim-fit gear
- DWR treatment requires periodic re-application over time
- Limited to a more casual, trail-focused aesthetic
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the side Velcro tabs while standing in your riding position to account for the waist flexion required on a bike. These shorts are designed to be compatible with most standard chamois liners, though they do not include one natively.
For care, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the DWR coating. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the elasticity of the spandex blend and the performance of the technical fabric. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the moisture-wicking materials and diminish the shorts' breathability.
