Why We Built The Backcountry Slickrock Pant
"Even with the slimmer fit, there's plenty of room at the knees for pedaling and pads. I like that the ankles unzip so I can adjust my kneepads when I need to." —Gearhead® Expert Sammy
Whether we're getting a head start on trail riding season or pushing into winter's grip, we never miss a ride thanks to the Slickrock Pant. We designed these pants with a super lightweight material that breathes with us when we're working hard, and the water-resistant treatment provides the weather protection we need. We updated the fit from the first iteration of Slickrock Pant to add more room for knee pads, and the zippered vents on the side seams line up perfectly with the thigh pockets on our bib shorts for easier snack access.

I get compliments any time I wear these pants on the trails! I live in texas and we have some pretty rugged terrain and brush usually around the trails so having a super breathable and light weight pant to help keep the sun off my legs and also provide protection against some branches and prickly plants is awesome! I bought a size small, I'm 5'4" and fluxuate from 128 - 132lbs since having my little boy last year. I ABSOLUTELY love the fit, theres enough room in the waist so they dont cut you in half when leaning over I wear a padded short with these and you can hardly tell but fit seamlessly together. The only gripe i have with these pants is where the vent zips are on the outter thigh there is a part of the zipper fabric that itches me if I dont wear a shammie/ padded shorts. Its quiet irritating but I'm super sensitive to itchy fabrics so it may just be me or I might of gotten a faulty pair. Regardless, I wear these 9/10 any time I'm getting on my MTB. I love them so much and will be buying more colors in these and will also try the 5" shorts this summer as well because im not a long short gal. Hope to see you out on the trails!

I first purchased the Slickrock bike short and was so in love, I just had to try the pants… skeptically though, a pant for mountain biking??? After one sunny, but still chilly spring ride, I am in love with the pants as much as I am with the shorts! Perfectly designed with the features you’d want from a pant and a great fit! I am 5’10” / 190 lbs, up 15# heavier/curvier than I normally am, (but still taller than wider by a long shot) and typically a size 14, the XL fits very well. The waist doesn’t cut in at all (yay, who likes to feel like they are being squeezed in 2 by their waistband or have unattractive rolls above your pants???), they fall at my ankle and were large enough in the leg that I never felt a frustrating pull or stretch in the material, but they aren’t loose enough where I was worried about the chain, I know… they sound like magic pants and they may be! If you want a pant that can work for mountain biking, jogging, hiking, grocery shopping, whatever… on a day with a brisk wind where you want protection, but not insulation, and a quick drying pant, this is the pant for you.

I didn’t want to spend a ton on a pair of MTB pants. Got these on sale and am very happy with them! Only complaint is that they are a little baggy around the ankles— if your short. Certainly not a deal breaker though for half the price of other MTB pant brands.

I read to "size up" on several of the reviews and in the item details. I bought a size small and they were too big. They were too big in every aspect, the hips the butt the legs the waist. I returned for an XS and they fit great. They are light weight and comfortable. I LOVE the high rise waist because I don't like low rise and I haven't since the mid 2000's when it was in style and I don't like riding a MTB with my navel out or my lower back getting sunburnt or mud all over. I'm barely 5'2 and about 110 lbs or so. I also love the movement of the fabric the 4 way stretch is fantastic and makes them so comfy. I hope they offer more colors soon!

I bought these pants and love riding in them, but what happened to including a pocket for my cell phone? If you need to keep the leg vents, you could move them or put a mesh pocket inside to hold a phone. I hope to buy another pair in the future with more usable pockets!

Waist runs small

I’m petite and was happy these more or less fit. The waist does run small and extremely high on the torso. For the price, I was pretty disappointed that the stitching on one of the knees is already torn/coming apart after only wearing them for two rides. The backcountry logo was also peeling off prior to even washing them. All in all, they serve their purpose.

I was given this product by Backcountry, but this review is my personal opinion. I’ve always been a shorts type of gal when it came to mountain biking but these pants have changed my mind. The material is great, super stretchy and comfortable. In addition to being stretchy the material is lightweight/thin so it doesn’t impede your movements at all. The length is perfect and you can tell these pants were thought out. BUT SIZE UP!!!! They run small. I am 5’3 & 110 lbs, I ordered a size XS which is my regular size (size I wear in other backcountry gear) but they were a little too snug. They fit but the waist was super tight and not comfortable when sitting and leaning forward on a bike. The legs fit but I just wished they were a little looser. They are a great mnt bike pant but unless you like a slim/snugger fit I would suggest ordering a size up, especially if you are inbetween sizes.

Great pants!

I’d say if you think you’re in between sizes order up. Based on reviews, size chart and what size the model was wearing I ordered a small and had to exchange it for a medium.

These pants are sooooo good!! I like how fitted they are bc I'm super clumsy on my mtb, and my other pants were so baggy they kept getting caught on my saddle when I'd hop off to "preview" (aka avoid) sketchy terrain. I also like that they are very flattering and don't looked bagged out while I'm at the taco shop after a ride. The fabric is nice and stretchy and keeping me comfortable on chilly mornings/evenings this spring. To the other reviewer's point, size up if you're looking for a looser fit, bc these seem to fit pretty true to size. Hopefully there will be more colors for this season, or even for future seasons but you can of course never go wrong with a nice black pant.

Love! But size up for looser fit
- Size Bought:
- Large

These pants are great, I love how high wasted they are as well as the length (I’m about 5’9 and they’re perfect!) I first ordered a MEDIUM (my usual size) and they fit like a glove, which wasn’t what I was looking for in terms of riding. So I returned them and sized up to a LARGE and they’re perfect. I can comfortably fit my padded shorts underneath and ride in comfort! Ultimately if you want tight/ fitted pants go with your usual size, otherwise size up for a looser fit!
