While the SingleTrack Lite IIs may sound quite pricey, coming in at a shade under $105 and with no liner included, they do offer a lot when it comes to performance. For starters, there are two zipped hip pockets, which are well positioned and sized for stowing the essentials, plus a smaller zipped stash pocket on the rear of the waistband for cards and keys. Velcro adjusters on the waist let you alter the fit, and there’s a zipped vent on the outside of each leg to help cool you down when working hard.
The lightweight fabric is stretchy and comfortable next to the skin, although it does rustle when moving. There’s ample depth in the waistband and enough articulation in the cut that the SingleTrack Lite IIs will stay put when you’re sat down pedalling. The legs are long enough and roomy enough that they’ll sit over knee pads without issue too. Comfort on the bike is decent, but if your pack sits low on your back or you have to cinch the Velcro adjusters up quite a bit, you can really notice where the waistband bunches.
