FAQs
Can I wear these shorts without the included liner?
Yes, the shell is designed to be worn independently, though the provided liner is recommended for long-distance comfort.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
Yes, the inclusion of breathable panels in the back and gusset helps significantly with ventilation.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Use the Velcro waist adjusters to refine the fit; the shorts are designed to sit comfortably at the waist with room for the padded liner.
Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?
The pockets are deep and mesh-lined, fitting most standard-sized smartphones comfortably, though ensure the zipper is fully closed.
What is the primary material used?
The shorts are made from a durable, recycled 4-way stretch woven polyester blend.
Troubleshooting
Waistband slipping during riding
Tighten the Velcro side adjusters and ensure the silicone print on the inner waistband is clean and free of debris.
Excessive heat build-up
Check that the breathable back panel and gusset are not blocked by long jerseys; tuck in or use a shorter jersey to ensure airflow.
Zipper sticking
Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush and water to remove accumulated trail dust or mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Skyline shorts, follow these guidelines:
Setup:
- Adjust the Velcro tabs on the waistband while wearing the shorts to ensure a snug but comfortable fit that doesn't restrict breathing.
- Ensure the TLD AIR Mesh liner sits comfortably beneath the shell, ensuring the leg grippers are flat against your skin.
Care Instructions:
- Wash the shorts and liner in cold water using a mild, technical-friendly detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fabric.
- Hang dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the elastic components and silicone grip.
- Regularly check the zipper closures to ensure they remain free of grit and mud to prevent sticking.
