Nothing too garish, capable of a few falls without falling apart, usable for generic trail or some bike park use (i.e. long enough to meet pads). Any recommendations, I finally killed my Fox Sergeants off

I know they're not viewed as excellent by some but I got some Dare2B shorts last year. They were the £15 ones, with a liner and I expected them to fall apart pretty quickly but they've quickly become my default short for most of the year. Not as short as my Endura Singletracks and not as long as my 3/4 Humvees - perfect middle ground.

Only downside is that the pockets are rubbish. For the money I doubt I'll look beyond D2B again...

I use D2B shorts everyday on my commute with a bob short though not the liner that came with them. I really rate them.

Endura singletracks, mine have been excellent, got them for £30, strong - I wear them 4-5 days a week for commuting and mtb rides and still look brand new, dry quickly, jobs a goodun.

Should be able to find something like an Altura Mayhem for that price?

yup, Altura Mayhem, light, unrestictive, plenty tough, came off on mine, bruised grazed him, no sign of damage to material at all.

they are more of a summer short i would hasten to add

Wouldn't buy anything else..absolutely bombproof, last forever. Thick, strong, triple stitched, good pockets, harder materials in wear areas.

Humvee, £45 including a decent liner = top value.

Where are you? If any where near Leeds/Wakey there's a shop in Cas Freeport/Junction 32 that has a load of Scott MTB stuff in there a decent prices. XC, Trail and DH stuff. Can't remember what it's called but it's in the corner near Thorntons.
