Full details
The Troy Lee Designs Skyline MTB Shorts are designed for adult male mountain bikers seeking a balance between casual aesthetics and high-performance trail utility. These shorts deliver exceptional comfort on long rides thanks to the included AIR Mesh liner and 4-way stretch construction, though the heavier-duty fabric may feel warmer than ultra-lightweight racing alternatives during mid-summer heatwaves.

FAQs
Are the pads removable?
Yes, the TLD AIR Mesh liner is a separate piece that can be detached from the outer short.
Can I use these shorts for activities other than mountain biking?
While designed for MTB, their durable, comfortable construction makes them suitable for hiking or casual trail use.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
The shorts should feel snug but not restrictive through the seat and thighs, with the waistband secure enough to stay up without needing an overtightened belt.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the deep, YKK-zippered side pockets are designed to accommodate most modern smartphones securely.
Do I need to wear underwear with these?
No, the included AIR Mesh liner is designed to be worn directly against the skin, providing the necessary padding and moisture management.
How often should I wash the liner?
The liner should be washed after every ride to maintain hygiene and prevent bacteria buildup in the padding.
Troubleshooting
Shorts slipping down while riding
Tighten the Velcro side adjusters and ensure the inner silicone print is clean of dirt or mud to maintain grip.
Zipper feels stiff
Clear any debris or mud from the YKK zipper tracks and use a dry lubricant if necessary.
Liner feels uncomfortable
Check that the liner is positioned correctly and that there are no wrinkles in the padding against your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, utilize the side Velcro adjusters while wearing your preferred base layers. Ensure the silicone waistband is against your skin or jersey to engage the anti-slip properties.
Care Instructions:
- Remove the liner before washing the outer shell.
- Machine wash both the shell and the liner on a gentle cycle in cold water.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester.
- Hang dry the garments away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the stretch panels.
