Why We Like The Outdoor Research Freewheel Ride Pant
Outdoor Research packed the Freewheel Ride Pant with ride-ready features to keep us rolling through trails without any hesitation. Along with a trim silhouette, these pants have a stretchy, durable fabric and technical fit features that improve our comfort, boost our pedaling power, and keep the style secure. Outdoor Research layered their DuraPrint overlay in the high-wear ankle zone to prevent abrasion from pedals, chains, and trailside brush.

Best riding pants I've used
The zippers on the pantlegs to allow you to easily put on/take off knee pads are great. The material is very breathable when you are pedaling hard

Awesome Pants
These are great for adding a light, water resistant layer on cooler days. Perfect for the boat and outdoor activity. The material is stretchy, durable, and super comfy. My go-to pants for FL “winter.” Pockets are well designed and hold everything you need. Runs a little long, but I can live with some minor bunching (5’8” ordered size M).

Amazing!
I am very picky about my gear but these pants are so amazing!! The feel so nice and move well on the rides. They breath very well but I’ve rode with them in some pretty cool temps down to about 25 degrees Fahrenheit and they still worked well. Any colder and I use my other pants but I absolutely love these pants.

Great fit
I bought these in September for an October road trip through British Columbia, Washington, and Idaho for riding. They worked great on cold and wet rides. Really impressed with how the bike specific fit works. It’s much better than riding with soft shell pants made for hiking.

Close to the platonic ideal of bike pants
Waist shape and construction is breathable and well-suited to a riding position - higher in the back for coverage and to minimize bunching in the front. Quick and effective side waist adjustments so you don’t need a belt. Left pocket has a side entry for when you are on the bike and your thigh is horizontal; right pocket is top entry for when you are standing. Ankle zips allow for putting on pads on the start of a descent, putting on over shoes etc. Tapered fit prevents chain snags but allows room to move. Nylon fabric is soft, durable, decent at blocking wind, and quite breathable.

These pants are so next level.
I got these pants because I wanted something that I could wear casually but also had a performance element to it. I MTB a lot but have never purchased pants before. I wore these in the rain and it kept my way more comfortable than I would have expected. The material is lightweight and the pants give you a full range of movement. Most of all, I think they look great. I advise you get a pair if you want riding pants that you can wear around town.

Perfect MTB pants for Fall riding in PA
Got these at the end of the season here in Pennsylvania and was able to wear them out for a local ride. The pants were super comfortable and performed well, keeping me warm (there was a little snow on the ground) while allowing the freedom of movement necessary on the trails. Great purchase! Pants would be good for any rider - new or advanced.

Quality material
These are my second pair, different color. The first review still applies: Pants feel comfortable and feel like they will last a long time. Zippered bottom is a must in order to get off because they are tight fitting at the ankle. Zippers high enough to put on knee pads in the parking lot. You won't feel like a weirdo stopping at the store whatever on your way back home because they are quite stylish for mountain bike pants. Fits a Samsung S24+ in either pocket. Order the size your are, ignore the sizing chart...
