Product Information
Full details
The Endura MT500 Spray Baggy Trousers II are designed for dedicated mountain bikers who frequent technical trails in variable, damp weather. These trousers offer a strategic balance of protection and agility, featuring a waterproof, taped seat panel to block wheel spray while utilizing 4-way stretch front panels to maintain comfort during intense pedaling. While they provide excellent resistance to moisture and trail grit, they are not fully seam-sealed waterproof trousers, meaning heavy, sustained downpours may eventually penetrate the non-taped sections.

FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, only the seat panel is seam-taped and fully waterproof. The rest of the trousers are water-resistant to allow for breathability.
Can I wear these with knee pads?
Yes, the cut is articulated specifically to fit comfortably over standard mountain biking knee pads.
Do I need a separate liner?
The trousers are Clickfast™ compatible, meaning you can attach a liner, but a liner is not included with the trousers.
How do I reactivate the DWR finish?
After washing, use a tumble dryer on low heat or iron on a low setting to help the DWR finish bead water effectively again.
Are these suitable for hot weather?
They are best suited for cool to mild conditions. While the thigh vents help, the nylon fabric is durable and thicker than standard summer riding gear.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the seat panel
Check that the taped seams are intact; if worn, apply a seam sealer or consider a professional DWR re-waterproofing treatment.
Fabric is absorbing mud and water
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment to remove dirt and reactivate the finish with heat, or apply a fresh DWR spray.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Strategic waterproof protection exactly where needed
- Excellent freedom of movement due to 4-way stretch
- Compatible with knee pads for technical terrain
- Adjustable ventilation for climate control
Cons
- Not fully waterproof; designed for spray rather than heavy rain
- Requires additional liner shorts if not already owned
- Requires periodic re-application of DWR coating
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For setup, ensure you choose the correct size to accommodate your preferred knee pads. If you own an Endura Clickfast™ liner, align the internal buttons on the trousers with the corresponding loops on the liner to prevent movement while riding. Compatibility extends to most footwear, with the ankle gussets allowing for a slim profile that won't interfere with your chainring or crank. To care for your trousers, machine wash in cool water on a delicate cycle using technical garment detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish. Periodically tumble dry on low heat or iron on a cool setting to reactivate the water-repellent coating. If the fabric begins to soak up water instead of beading it, apply a spray-on DWR treatment to restore performance.
