While I am not sure who those are aimed at, I'm reasonably sure it's not me.

Anyone had to think long and hard about why they're only a tenner?!

Why not? Do you cycle in the dark?

Is it becuase the pockets are too prominent for narrow forest single track and might catch on some brambles?

Golfers?

Edit: With the current promotion, you get 5 pairs for the price of 4.

Bought a pair last week for the commute. They're very thin and not exactly my style, but on the other hand I'm not fussed what I look like cycling to work and my bike kit wash cycle is now one pair of shorts longer. Worth a tenner, but not much more.

im pretty sure there aimed at people who are after a cheap set of shorts??
unless ive missed something?

I bet if they had a "fox" tag hanging off them you would be such a bunch of brand snobs and you wouldn't care that they look a bit garish.

I'm not massively fussed what they look like as long as they work..
I prefer to spend my money on my bike...

They could have Kylie Minogue hanging off them, and they wouldn't be my cup of tea.

*people in liking different things shocker*

I own 5 pairs of black cycling shorts, and one pair of dark brown ones. It's going to take more than a Fox tag.

I bought as pair of those shorts - I like them although if you want more subdued then go for the ones rocketdog linked to; they are pretty much the same shorts in a different colour:-

Those Tenn shorts that rocketdog are modelling are just the job and at a bargain price. Worth a punt methinks. Thanks for the PSA

Even the most hardened fashionista/style snob HAS to admit that the Halfords shorts are a pretty similar colour scheme and design to other fancy brand shorts. I've seen Fox shorts fairly close to that and I guarantee putting a Fox logo on would mean they'd be selling for (quality/durability issues aside) £80-90

Well, I've reserved a pair, they won't be in stock but I'm hoping they're as unpleasant as they look if they are...

Amazon have got quite a few well priced offerings. Here's an almost identical - and equally garish - pair

Just bought a pair from Halfords. Think I'd better cover them in mud before anyone sees me 😳

Why do halfords insist on listing all their sizes differently? It really, really annoys me.
