The Endura Singletrack 2 shorts are excellent. I’ve got a few pairs and they’ve lasted really well despite being used daily for a commute, and for weekly yoga classes, as well as mountain biking.
Sorting through my short box the other day I realise i’ve got a few pairs of ‘baggy short removable inners’ accumulated over many years. Without exception they are all useless in some way. The ones that come with shorts have a combination of a sub-standard pad coupled with thin fabric that means it’s not held in place properly. Endura’s clickfast liners have proper pads but the clicked into the baggies they’re pulled out of place by the over shorts. The reality is the waistband of your baggy shorts moves around as you move. the point of close fitting lycra is that it doesn’t. Attaching a lycra inner to a baggy just doens’t work.
The Endura are ok worn not clicked in – they’re just another pair of shorts – but the clickfast poppers then catch on things and dig in so they’ve not had much use either. Some of the thin liners from other shorts work under jeans (where they’re held in place without being attached) but this reminds me that I must actually bin some of them so that I’m not tempted to try the ones that don’t again and end up rubbing worse than a pair of cotton pants.
