FAQs

Are these pants suitable for all types of mountain biking?

Yes, they are primarily designed for aggressive trail and enduro riding due to their lightweight, durable, and mobile construction, but they can be used for cross-country riding as well.

Can I wear knee pads with these pants?

Absolutely. The slim, tapered fit is designed to accommodate most low-profile and standard mountain bike knee pads comfortably without excessive bunching.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to waist and inseam measurements. The ratchet closure allows for some adjustability.

What is the main benefit of the TruMotion fabric?

TruMotion is a 4-way stretch fabric that allows for maximum freedom of movement in all directions, which is essential for technical riding and maintaining balance on the bike.

Are the hand pockets waterproof?

The hand pockets feature zippers for secure storage, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture but are not designed to keep contents dry in heavy rain.

What does 'tapered fit' mean for these pants?

A tapered fit means the pant leg gradually narrows from the thigh down towards the ankle. This results in a cleaner look, reduces snagging, and improves aerodynamics.

How durable is the ripstop polyester material?

Ripstop polyester is known for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to tearing. While lightweight, it is designed to withstand the rigors of trail riding.

Troubleshooting

Fit adjustment is difficult

Ensure the ratchet mechanism is clean and free of debris. If it feels stiff, a gentle rinse might help, followed by air drying.

Pants feel warm on hot days

While designed for breathability, extreme heat may still feel warm. Ensure adequate hydration and consider riding during cooler parts of the day. The moisture-wicking properties are optimized for active use.

Zipper on hand pocket is stuck

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite from a pencil to the teeth and try again. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reduced moisture-wicking performance

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing. Check for any buildup of residue on the fabric and re-wash with a performance-oriented detergent if necessary.
