Product Information
Full details
The Troy Lee Designs Skyline Chill MTB Pants are engineered for mountain bikers and E-Bike riders who refuse to let dropping temperatures end their season. These trousers provide essential warmth via ThermoFleece bonded interior zones while maintaining the mobility required for technical riding through 4-way stretch Nylon fabric. While they excel in cold and wet conditions thanks to their water-repellent finish, they may feel too insulated for intense high-output riding in mild climates.

FAQs
Can I wear these for spring or autumn riding?
Yes, they are ideal for cool, shoulder-season weather, but you may find them too warm for temperatures consistently above 15 degrees Celsius.
Will these fit over bulky knee braces?
The articulated knee panels are generous, but they are optimized for standard MTB knee pads. Very bulky medical-grade braces may cause some restriction.
Are these pants waterproof?
They are water-repellent due to the Teflon EcoElite finish, which is effective against light rain and trail spray, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed for heavy downpours.
How should I store these between rides?
Hang them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the Nylon fabric from degrading over time.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
Yes, the side pockets are designed with secure zippers to accommodate modern smartphones safely while riding.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency appears to be failing
The DWR coating can wear off over time. Wash the pants to remove dirt/oils and tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
Waistband sliding down during pedaling
Adjust the side tabs to tighten the fit and ensure the inner silicone print is against your skin or a thin base layer to maximize friction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for winter riding
- Effective water resistance handles puddle splashes and drizzle
- Generous fit around knees for protective gear compatibility
- Secure waist fit prevents slippage during aggressive movement
Cons
- Not suitable for high-exertion riding in warm weather
- Requires proper care to maintain the H2O repellent finish
- Limited ventilation compared to standard summer-weight pants
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the side adjustable waist tabs before beginning your ride to ensure the silicone waistband makes full contact with your base layer or jersey. When selecting knee pads, note that these pants are compatible with most standard low-to-mid profile MTB knee guards. To care for the Teflon EcoElite H2O finish, machine wash in cold water using a mild technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the fabric and degrade the water-repellent performance. Always hang-dry to preserve the elastic integrity of the Nylon construction and the longevity of the YKK zippers.
