Skyline Short Shell
As Troy Lee Design's top-selling pair of baggies, the Skyline Short Shell strikes the right balance between pedal-friendly mobility and resiliency against trail thrashings. This particular version is available in shell only, so you'll be able to wear it over your favorite padded liner shorts. Its relaxed fit allows you to pedal uphill and descend freely, all while comfortably draping over your knee pads during those downhill shuttles and bike park sessions.

Great shorts
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Got these for my boyfriend who rides. They’re the newer, and apparently improved version of the same shorts he’s loved for a few years. He said they feel great, better the “favorite” pair so 5 stars! He’s getting another pair in a 2nd color!

OK Shorts, but some issues.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Fit and material is good. Pockets are good size and zippers 9including at zipper) are quality/work well. But as with almost all shorts that have the Velcro adjust waist, these creep down. The “Skyline” logo inside the waistband is the grippy rubbery material, and I thought this would prevent them falling down (I have a pair of Pearl Izumi shorts that successfully pull this off), but it’s not enough. The waistband adjustment is just not heavy enough duty - the elastic is too elastic, and the Velcro contact patch isn’t large enough. Also, the button closure is vague feeling - it doesn’t “snap” together audibly. It presses together in a mushy sort of way that always makes me wonder how long it will last. EXTREMELY glad that I got these on sale and didn’t pay full price. Not worth it if not discounted.

Too short for riding with pads
The short material feels light and durable. The zipper fly and pockets appear sturdy. Unfortunately the shorts are too short. The inseam is only around 12" compared to the inseam of 14" on my other shorts. This leads to a gap between my shorts and pads. They would be great for people with short legs or someone riding without pads. Also the blue color is not as bright as shown in the picture.

Velcro wears out quickly
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
For some reason TLD puts out the same Skyline short every year with the same flaw: a velcro fly. The velcro wears out quickly, say, after one season, then the fly constantly pops open. I have other mtb shorts with zippers for the fly, and they work perfectly, season after season. Should we support stupid people who work at companies like TLD?
