Morning all

I need to get some new shorts and having read various things here and elsewhere about stitching failure and poor sizing i wondered what else was worth looking at. Ideally I’d like something with a decent liner, fit over 661 KS knee pads and a budget of around £45.

Cheers 🙂

I just got some Fox Sergeant Shorts and they are ace. On sale at Evans.

Just bought some Endura Burner shorts & they seem a good alternative but to soon to comment on longevity.

Endura have been good for me and excellent in my experience with returns so I’ll be sticking with them

Same here, Never had a problem with Endura sizing or quality.

The liner is shite though. I wear them over some gore bibshorts, much better.

I had a look at the Sargeant shorts but there a bit to pyjama ninja for my liking and the Mavic shorts are too expensive. I may just plump for pair of Humvees as a friend has just been raving about his.

You’re right, they’ve changed the design on the new Sergeants, don’t like it as much as the two year old ones I have.

MT500’s, Humvees and Singletracks are all ace IMHO, not had a problem with either

free pair of altura shorts (with liner) with 6 months subscription to MBUK magazine which is about £21.

bargain 🙂

Bargain price but I need them for next weekend and I’ll be stuck with MBUK for the next 6 months and thats far to much Doddy for my liking lol

Lycra. 😆

fyi endura burner

see ebay 31.50

Get baggies without liners and buy some proper lycra shorts to wear underneath. As bloke in shop said to me this week a decent pair of lycra shorts are min £30 so it’s no wonder liners supplied with £45 baggies are no good.

Sugoi Gustavs, best trail short in the world IMO

Altura Whateveryoulikethecolourof. My 2 pairs of Mayhems are good as new 3 years in, and my Attacks have a wee rip from a decent size crash while racing but otherwise faultless, still waterproof. Top kit.

cyclestore have bargain endura burners at the moment

£30!

Good price but “mesh drop liner” sounds a bit too much like testicular strangulation to for my liking 😉

The Endura padded jersey boxers plus any shorts you like works for me.

The abuse I get when I wear Aussie Ranger style hotpants with is such a big plus

Ditto northwind

dakine for me. the long ones are stoopid long though 🙂
