I was in Aldi today and they had some MTB shorts in the sale for £12.99 so I grabbed a pair. The outer is polyamide. I’ve not heard of this material does anyone know what it’s qualities are? Thanks.

Another name for Nylon.

Are they the baggies? The chief qualities of the Aldi baggy ones I had were that they fell down a lot and then split open at the crotch.

Ha ha. They’re not very baggy. They look like USMC desert camouflage with a big padded detachable liner. The padding is quite heavy duty and it feels a bit like wearing a nappy (I’d imagine)!. I’m going to put them through their paces tomorrow so I can post a review of them then. I don’t spend much on cycle clothing really, just the bike.

Blaggers said what I was going to. mmmm nylon 😉
