Troy Lee Designs Ruckus Cargo Pants
"Troy Lee Designs Ruckus Cargo Pants I’ve been a big fan of the style and functionality of the Ruckus shorts and love them in every way. That’s what led me to purchase the Ruckus Cargo Pants. At nearly $300, they’re definitely a premium item, so I had high expectations. The material, fit, and overall construction are excellent. They’re comfortable, durable, very functional breathability and perform well on the bike. However, on my very first ride, I noticed the lower leg rubbing on my chainring, which left a stain on the fabric. This was disappointing, especially at this price point. I’ve already paid to have the pants shortened because the original length was too long for me, but even after tailoring, the rubbing issue occurred. The pants could be better tapered or made to eliminate chainring rubbing. I use a stretchy arm sleeve that I cut down to keep my pants from rubbing and now the pants are essential in cooler temps. Base layer tights fit wonderfully though they are a little too breathable for winter fat biking in -10 temps. The pants are perfectly cut and the pockets are deep and keep items such as phone and glasses behind your legs which is super comfortable and convenient. One improvement would have back pockets and then I would wear them as an everyday casual pant with style. Very happy with them for biking. Regards, Dave"
