Full details
The Troy Lee Designs Resist MTB Shorts are designed for mountain bikers who frequently ride in wet, muddy, or unpredictable weather conditions.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for summer riding?
They are likely too warm for hot, dry summer days due to their waterproof construction and heavier fabric weight.
Can I wash these in a standard washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with cold water and technical-friendly detergent. Do not use fabric softener.
Do these shorts come with a chamois/liner?
No, these are shell shorts designed to be worn over your preferred liner or bib shorts.
How do the sizes fit?
They feature a performance fit common for MTB apparel. Use the ratchet waist to dial in the exact size for your waist measurement.
What does 10K/10K waterproof mean?
It refers to a 10,000mm hydrostatic head for water resistance and 10,000g/m2 for breathability, suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading off the surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the shorts thoroughly and apply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical apparel.
Ratchet closure is not holding firm.
Check the ratchet mechanism for mud or debris buildup. Clean with a soft brush and water to ensure the teeth lock correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts remain waterproof and functional, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the ratchet closure to find a snug fit that stays in place while pedaling out of the saddle.
- Compatibility: These shorts are designed to sit over most standard bib liners or padded underwear. If you prefer extra knee protection, ensure your knee pads fit cleanly underneath the hem.
- Care: Machine wash in cold water using a technical gear wash. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric's integrity. Periodically re-apply a DWR spray if you notice water stop beading on the surface after long-term use.
