Out on the trails, moving around, is where these shorts really shine. I have never noticed I’m wearing them.
 Grinding up climbings, cruising downhill, or walking around, these shorts match all your movements precisely. For this reason alone I believe they are worth the sticker price. I don’t see myself ever buying another style of short for trail riding.
I have used the shorts with both bibs and short chamois, and never ran into issues with either. The pockets are deep and simple. The one drawback is the lack of ventilation.
But, take that with a grain of salt. I seldom feel overly hot in these, but if you are looking for something aerated with big vents or super-light material, these are not the shorts for you. The only time I really noticed the lack of ventilation is was on my indoor trainer. For that reason, I use my other Sombrio Highline shorts when indoors because they have more vent holes and are much lighter construction.
If you are used to really loose shorts, the Troy Lee Designs may not be for you. My preference for clothes is generally baggy, but even the Skylines hug tighter than I’d normally prefer. Howvever, the material and design is so adaptable that it’s never been an issue for me.
