FAQs

Can these pants be worn with knee pads?

Yes, the articulated knee design is specifically engineered to accommodate standard MTB knee pads without restricting movement.

Are these pants waterproof?

They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which makes them water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed.

Do the graphics fade over time?

The pants utilize fade-resistant sublimated graphics, which are designed to maintain color vibrancy even after frequent washes.

What is the best way to store them?

Hang them in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the synthetic fibers.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the inclusion of laser perforations at the inseam and stretch-mesh venting provides significant airflow for active riding.

Troubleshooting

Waistband sliding down during rides

Ensure the mountaineering-style adjuster is fully tightened and that the silicone print is clean of mud or debris.

Pants feel stiff after washing

Ensure you are not using excessive detergent; residue can cause fabric stiffening. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Water no longer beads on the fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off. Use a specialized DWR wash-in treatment to restore water resistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability 600D fabric handles trail abrasion well
  • Excellent ventilation through laser perforations
  • Articulated knees fit perfectly over standard MTB pads
  • Adjustable closure system stays secure on rough terrain

Cons

  • Heavier feel compared to lightweight trail shorts
  • DWR coating will eventually require re-application
  • Polyester material lacks the breathability of thinner casual hiking pants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, use the mountaineering-style adjuster to dial in your fit while standing in a riding position rather than sitting. These pants are compatible with most standard slim-profile knee pads. To maintain the life of the garment, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can compromise the DWR water-resistant coating. Hang dry the pants in a shaded, ventilated area to preserve the integrity of the sublimated graphics and the silicone waistband grip.
