after 4 rides, my altura shorts are now knackered, massive rip at cross seam right on the undersid. i caught the shorts on the nose of my saddle, but after 4 rides there is no way they should be ripping, the stitching had already come slightly loose but i thought nothing of it. Can anyone reccomend some good shorts that are less than £40

Happened to my brand new semi - dry shorts on the first ride. Merlin warrantied them for me.

I had the same issue a few years ago. Since then have stayed clear and stuck to Endura.

Send them back. Zyro will warranty them.

Never had a problem with my two pairs.

They're not supposed to be worn as hot pants.

Just a bad batch?

Was looking at getting Altura after always getting problems with Endura Humvees

Been wearing Altura shorts & tights for the last 3/4 years & not had the slightest problem. Get them sent back to Zyro via whoever you bought them from

So you ripped them through clumsiness and now you're complaining? Good show.

FWIW, 3 pairs of Alturas here, 2 Mayhems and a pair of Attacks, worn constantly, crashed in, all as good new.
