FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
No, they feature a hybrid design. The rear panel is waterproof to stop spray, while the front panels are breathable and water-resistant, but not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these without knee pads?
Yes, they are designed with a knee-pad friendly cut, but they function perfectly well even if you choose not to wear pads.
How do I adjust the waist?
The trousers feature an integrated adjustable waistband system that allows you to cinch the fit for a secure, custom feel.
Are the ankle zips durable?
Yes, they are designed specifically for mountain biking, allowing you to pull the trousers on and off over your shoes without issue.
Should I wash these with my standard clothes?
It is recommended to wash them separately or with other technical gear using a non-bio detergent to maintain the fabric's technical properties.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the rear panel over time
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating. Clean the garment and use a spray-on DWR treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.
Zips becoming stiff or catching
Check for dried mud in the zip tracks. Clean the teeth with a soft brush and consider using a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
Trouser feels tight around the knees
Ensure your knee pads are properly positioned. If using bulky pads, verify that you are wearing the correct size and check for any internal fabric bunching.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent mud and water protection at the seat
- Highly breathable stretch fabric on the front
- Tailored for knee-pad compatibility

Cons
- Can feel warm in hot, dry weather
- Not fully waterproof (only the rear panel)
- Heavier than lightweight trail shorts
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the integrated waistband to secure the trousers snugly against your waist, preventing sagging during aggressive descents. The trousers are designed to be worn over standard mountain bike shorts or directly over the skin. When choosing size, remember the cut is optimized for knee pads, so test the fit while wearing your pads to ensure no binding occurs at the joint.
For care, it is essential to wash these trousers with a technical gear cleaner to preserve the waterproof coating on the rear panel. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable fibers. Hang dry away from direct heat sources to extend the life of the water-repellent treatment.
