FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
The pants feature water-resistant cargo pockets for storage protection, but the main nylon material is designed for breathability and is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear knee pads under these pants?
Yes, the pants are cut to accommodate most standard slim-profile mountain bike knee pads due to the articulated knee design.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle. Do not bleach, do not iron, and hang to dry for best results.
Is the phone pocket large enough for modern smartphones?
Yes, the dedicated phone pocket is designed to accommodate most modern, large-format smartphones securely.
Do these pants have a specific fit for men or women?
These pants are typically cut for a standard men's fit, prioritizing room in the seat and thighs for cycling movement.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels loose while riding
Ensure the Duraflex cinch buckle is pulled tight after fastening the integrated webbing belt; the non-slip material inside the waistband should be kept clean to maintain grip.
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Check the tracks for trail debris or mud buildup. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and consider applying a dedicated zipper lubricant if necessary.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the integrated webbing belt and cinch buckle before securing the dual snaps. Ensure the waistband sits comfortably above the hips to allow for full range of motion while pedaling. Regarding care, always wash in cold water on a delicate cycle to preserve the integrity of the nylon fibers and the functionality of the zippers. Hang dry the pants away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the technical materials. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can clog the perforations and compromise the breathability features of the garment.
