Anyone had a chance to put them side by side for a comparison yet? There's bob hope of doing that at the LBS & I'm wondering whether the MT500s are going to be worth the extra dosh.

endura; having had three pairs; including the orginal mt500's with a zip front. all very good and comfortable. however am using a pair of aldi shorts that are just as good. also have the same printing inside, pads, etc etc. i say they are all made in the same factory.

i have had two jackets as well, all good. however try aldi first as a test bed, then go for endura if you have the cash

Don't but the superlights, just sent mine back after ripping through the crotch after half a dozen rides
