Product Information
Full details
The Endura MT500 Spray Trousers are designed for mountain bikers who frequently ride in damp, muddy, or variable weather conditions. Combining high-performance 4-way stretch front panels with fully waterproof, 3-layer seam-taped rear panels, these trousers offer a strategic balance between breathability and protection against trail spray. While they excel in wet-weather durability and comfort, they are specifically engineered for spray protection rather than being fully waterproof, which is a key consideration for riders expecting torrential rain throughout their entire ride.

FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, only the rear panels are 3-layer waterproof and seam-taped. The front panels are water-resistant and breathable.
Can I wear these without knee pads?
Yes, they are designed to fit well with or without knee pads, though they are specifically cut to be comfortable when pads are worn.
How do I use the Clickfast system?
The Clickfast system uses integrated snap-buttons inside the waistband to attach compatible Endura liner shorts securely.
Are the ankles adjustable?
Yes, they feature zipped ankles with gussets to make them easy to put on over shoes and adjust for a secure fit.
What is the best way to wash these trousers?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the front panels
The DWR coating may be worn off. Clean the trousers and re-apply a high-quality DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Waistband slipping while riding
Adjust the Velcro side straps for a tighter fit and ensure the Clickfast liner is properly aligned.
Zipper sticking or feeling stiff
Check for mud or debris in the zipper teeth. Rinse gently with water and apply a light silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your MT500 trousers, start by utilizing the Velcro waist adjusters to achieve a snug fit, ensuring they do not snag on the saddle. If using Clickfast liners, snap them into the internal loops located inside the waistband before putting on the trousers.
Care instructions are critical: always wash with a technical detergent designed for DWR-coated gear to prevent damaging the water-repellent layer. Avoid fabric softeners. After several wet rides, if water stops beading on the front panels, re-apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore the water-shedding performance.
