    Im probabley going to be shot down in flames or waste my time for this. However, I shall continue.

    Why dont MTB magazines show many reviews for Lycra shorts? I am one of the few MTBers that wear Lycra shorts and find it frustrating to find only baggy short or 3/4 baggy shorts (IMO Chav wear btw) review in MTB mags.

    Lycra is great, it lets you move about on the bike without any restrictions, when its cold your keep warmer, when its hot you keep cooler.

    Actually, even though my other Endura garments have fallen apart repeatedly, my MT500 shorts are still going strong and very comfy, so +1 for them.

    Most riders (me included) are too chubby to be allowed out in lycra these days.
    It's just a fashion thing really…boys who want to look like rad skate boys.

    Is that "Team Inadequate"?

    Cycling + just reviewed shorts, if you have any roadie friends ask if they have a copy.

    I've found campag lycra good, but expensive, fave lycras at the moment are Giordana. Still wear them under baggies though!

    Dimarchi trek branded ones, prefer them to my lussos, always worn under fox baggies though 😉

    Bikeradar?

    Hundreds of reviews of shorts on there.

    For what it's worth, the last lost of Aldi ones were pretty decent. Cheap too.

    Just bought some Giordana silverline bibs, lovely shorts for the money, fit is terrific, pad awesome. No idea on longevity yet though.

    I also like Addidas and Pearl Izumi shorts, they seem to hold up well.

    Always found enduras and dimarchi to fall apart pronto. Northwave too stretchy to give any support and substandard pads. Cannondale fit is terrible.
