Have Endura changed the material used in these shorts from cotton to nylon??

My current years old pair are wearing out and need replacing but all the ones I see being sold are made from a treated nylon - mine are cotton

Or have I just got the wrong shorts entirely?

Cheers

My original Humvees must be eight years old and they are a synthetic material.

Thanks, I'm thinking I must have the name of shorts wrong

The new Humvees have a 'proper' fly button now instead of the popper one that always came undone.

Sizing is the same though (get a large if you are a medium) and the silicone elastic strips on the liners are so tight that you'll think you're wearing bondage gear.

Great shorts for the price though.

Anyone tried the humvee lites? What's the difference between them and the normal ones?

Mine live forever.

Currently wearing a 4 year old pair at this very moment. I have a 6 year old pair that need re stitching and a 10 year old pair that I left in the gym changing room a while back that somebody thought were worth stealing.

What. Do you have sandpaper on your seat?

The Zymes were never cotton! They have always been nylon based material but felt cottonish which is why you can't tumble dry them as I found out lol.
The new ones are still the same I believe.

Exactly this, stitching wore out on my last pair in 4 months, wasn't impressed. Had them restitched but the repair is looking shoddy after a dozen rides.

Mine must be 5yrs old. Tore crotch badly but I (yes, I), sewed them up & they live again.
