Charge spoon saddle so some stitching, although most of it has worn away now anyway.
With the Addicts the tape on a number of the seams started coming away, not just in the saddle high wear area but all over. These were warrantied with the Storms and those have gone back this week as the tape on the crotch seam was coming away.
The taping looked much better on the Storms than the Addicts so I had high hopes of them lasting but it appears the movement in the crotch area is too much of the tape to take.
The outsides of the shorts still looked good as new, no wear. Both pairs had only done around half a dozen rides and a couple of washes (30C with tech wash)
Was offered the DTE as replacements but prefer a fully waterproof short so trying another pair of Storms (and hoping I’ve just been unlucky).
Also taken advantage of 50% at Royal to see if they are any better.
