Strengths: Cool feeling fabric, adjustableWeaknesses: QUALITY!!Bottom Line: Coming from a motocross background, I'm a big fan of Troy Lee. Got the D3 full face as well. But, for a top of the line pair of short that cost $129... the quality on these shorts was AWFUL! First, the velcro separated from the rubber pull strap on the waist adjustment on the second ride. I superglued it back, so not a big issue. Then, the stitching in the pockets came un-done on the fourth ride and my ID and car key fell out. I now put that stuff in my pack, so not a huge issue. Then, when riding with the thigh vents open, the vent caught on my thumb shifter after launching a rock. Yard sale. So, I ride with the vent closed. My bad. Finally, the pocket zipper just fell off. Now I can't close my left pocket.
So, these reasons combined with the fact that these are TLD's top of the line enduro type short is the reason for my low score. I've had Fox shorts and Pearl Izumi shorts that have lasted many, many seaons, so I know it can be done.

Strengths: Light weight, included inner pants with chamois.Weaknesses: Cost.Bottom Line: Really like these pants! The breakdown in Troy Lee pants is that the Moto and Sprint, are basically cut off motocross pants. The Moto has side pockets, the Sprint doesn't. The lighter weight Ace and Skyline have an inner pant/chamois. The ACE has zippered vents in the front, the Skyline doesn't. The Moto/Sprint, is a much more durable material. The Ace/Skyline, are much lighter and flexible material. For XC, perfect! The Moto/Sprint are for downhill, or crash prone riding. For me, there are the perfect pants! I would order more if they came in more colors. But they are exactly what I wanted (I have some Sprint shorts and they are too stiff and heavy for the XC riding I do). Having a chamois, inner pant is what the extra cost is about.
Favorite Trail: All of them!

Strengths: lightweight, sharp looking.Weaknesses: Elastic strap that adjust waist ripped after wearing about 6X. Very weak material on the strap. They other strap is about to tear soon. Don't buy the white pair since they stain really bad and nothing gets it cleaned. Looks like I had an accident in my pants after one ride. I also have a couple pairs of the Troy Lee Sprint short that are way more durable (heavier but worth it).Bottom Line: Buy the Troy Lee sprint shorts or look for a more durable pair of a different brand. Way to expensive for what you get.
