Looking at the new 2012 range of the above - which out of the above are a slimmer fit ? Hate baggy shorts and would like a tighter fit around the leg.
Or can anyone recommend anything better similar or cheaper price range slim fit shorts?
Many thanks
Royal 365s? They're not long, mind, but otherwise they're like unbaggy baggies.
Thanks ,they look ideal - do they cover the knee ?
Thanks
Nope, they're shorts rather than 3/4s.
Ok thanks - they do look ideal though ,checking reviews out so think ill go for a pair ,ideal for slimmer rider like myself 🙂
Unless anyone can recommend anything else??
Hummvees do the trick for me; light, something like 8 pockets (inc 2 for maps), perfect fit. Job done.
My bestest mtb purchase bar none are endura singletrack shorts. Water resistant, strong, slim and stylish. You won't regret it
Are the humvees slimmer fit than the singletracks in the 2012 range?
Ive got a pair from few years ago but cant remember if they are singletracks or humvees
In my experience, both the Humvees and Zymes are rather baggy.
The Endura Urban shorts are supposed to be a slim fit, though I've not tried them myself.

Most of the pockets are pointless, the map ones aren't big enough to really hold a map and even if you do put a map in there it interferes with pedalling, the two small ones are only really useful for putting paper money in otherwise anything with weight will just repeatedly bump against your leg. Vents are in the wrong place. I've had two pairs and the zips failed on one and stitching went on the other pair. And the liner shorts for both pairs were the wrong size, small and large but not the medium the outers were. When I complained to Endura about these, a jacket and pair of 3/4's their response was pretty poor, along the lines of, "if you think our stuff is bad the competition is worse". Got a pair of Dakine shorts that have been fantastic and would also recommend Ground Effect clothing, although I don't have their baggies what I do have of theirs has been excellent.
Humvees are on the baggier end of the scale butit really depends on the size of your thighs
Tried some similar priced altura shorts on in my lbs recently which were a slimmer fit.

Singletrack are slimmer fit that Humvees but I find the Humvees don't have too much loose material.
