I've worn Humvees for 60+ mile rides.

Humvee (outers - the inners are rubbish) are pretty good. Better than singletracks for unobstructiveness I reckon, being thinner. The flipside being the seat of my short and 3/4 humvees have both fallen to pieces in about 18 months

another Endura Humvee 3/4 length shorts user here & they rock. ๐Ÿ˜€

Kept my knees nice & warm on my ride today well worth the money IMHO.

Humvees are nice, but i've had two pairs fall to bits in three years.

Humvee 3/4's are horrible in wet weather, the fabric that is nice and soft and airy in the dry, just hangs and drags on the knees in the wet.

Normal length shorts I find are better regardless of weather

Zymes, for me. Really hard wearing. Used them on 100 mile + rides with no problems.
