The legs taper down nicely to avoid getting snagged in the chain.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On the trail<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Prior to wearing the Scott Trail Tuned pants, the best that I&#8217;d worn, and undisputed king were the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/en\/tested-specialized-demo-pro-pants\/\">Specialized Demo Pants<\/a>. While they are great regarding all things gravity, for trail riding and long pedals, the Demo could stand to be just a little bit lighter and more breathable in order to wear them in the shoulder seasons more. That&#8217;s where the Scott pants dethrone them by being just a bit lighter and thinner, thus running cooler when you&#8217;re really turning the pedals over. For a basic rundown, starting with fit the Trail Tuned pants were true to size and had a good, comfortable range in how much you could take up or let out in the waist. Speaking of the waist, the back is cut higher, so I didn&#8217;t get a bunch of loam flinging down into my pants on steep sections, which is always a bonus. The single pocket was enough for a cell phone and the key fob for my truck, but that&#8217;s about it. For a minimalist pant, this is sufficient, but it&#8217;s worth pointing out that when I put the phone in the mesh sleeve in the pocket, it sat up a bit higher and felt a bit &#8220;off&#8221; when pedaling as it jammed up into my waist with each pedal. So, I mostly just left the phone out of the sleeve so it would sit lower&#8230;As far as pocket placement, I had a handful of crashes and never toasted my phone (something I&#8217;ve done a few times over the years), so the placement at the front of the thigh proved ideal.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_9097.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-235834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_9097.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_9097.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_9097-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_9097-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As far as materials go, Scott really aced it with regard to what they put where. They got the blend of fabrics just right and put the more durable, but stiffer and less flexible panels where they were needed most to ward off trailside obstacles, while still sourcing stretchy but surprisingly tough fabrics for the areas that see the most articulation. For instance the area below the knee wrapping around about two thirds of the lower leg is made from a tough fabric. That material feels similar to cordura, but comes in at a lighter weight and with a rip stop pattern. The remaining third of material consists of a stretchier material, which helps the pants remain comfortably snug and trim, regardless of your calf size. That ripstop material is also found at the butt and hamstrings, which are also areas that are prone to ripping. So, what does this all mean? Well, I found myself able to hammer out some pretty long days in the saddle, unrestricted, all winter long. Additionally, I&#8217;ve had more crashes than I&#8217;d like to admit in these pants and they&#8217;ve yet to rip. Could a little luck be involved? Perhaps, but I&#8217;m more inclined to credit good design at this point.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Overall<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">At the moment, these are hands down my favorite riding pants and despite the warmer temperatures I&#8217;m still wearing them frequently without overheating. When the real summer heat kicks in I&#8217;ll probably have to switch back to shorts, but for the record they do run cooler than any other pants that I&#8217;ve worn to date. Downsides? Well, despite liking the pocket placement, the phone sleeve doesn&#8217;t do it for me, but fortunately it&#8217;s not necessary anyway. Perhaps it would work better if it sat deeper. Or perhaps Scott could add a second pocket on the left leg and no one would complain. Digging a bit deeper, some of the stretchy material has started to develop a tiny bit of pilling, but in fairness I&#8217;ve been wearing these pants for roughly 95% of the riding I&#8217;ve done for the last 4 months, so that&#8217;s not worth overthinking. All in all, the Scott Trail Tuned pants are ultra light, comfortable, flexible, durable and run pretty darn cool for a full length garment. I&#8217;d highly recommend them for cool to cold weather jaunts on trail, enduro and e-bikes. They might be a bit on the lightweight side for full on downhill riding, but then again, Vinny T wore them at Rampage, so just take that for what it&#8217;s worth&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scott-sports.com\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">www.scott-sports.com<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the colder months first hit here in California, with colder being a relative term, Scott sent us a pair of their &#8220;Trail Tuned&#8221; pants for testing.

testing. Lightweight and aimed more at general purpose riding, the pants are not a full-on heavy duty downhill specific rated option. Rather they&#8217;re great for the cooler temps of winter and the shoulder seasons surrounding it, depending on how temperate your local climate is. They are also an ideal weight for e-bike rides as they&#8217;ll protect you just a bit more and, let&#8217;s face it &#8211; you probably won&#8217;t be totally overheating anyway.
