Can any of you good people recommend a pair of mtb shorts that come up a little shorter?
I'm a bit of a finicky old bugger and find the standard 'baggies' too long, the flapping around down near the knee gets a little on my tits. I tried some Hummvee's and the length was a bit irritating round the old pines. I don't like anthing touching my knees, not even my wife.
I've been wearing a liner with some old Carhartt shorts for years but sadly they are now borderline obscene.
Just looking for anything that hangs above the knee when standing and doesn't cost a small fortune ie. Folsom shorts..
Cheers and Thanks!
Endura singletrack shorts. What size are you. I have a pair that Ive worn 2 or 3 time but don't love which you are welcome to.
Fox Ranger shorts are a lot shorter than owt else. Without being...

Altura Ascents are closer fitting and shorter than a lot of other baggies ive looked at
Can't say I have ever had a problem. Is it the shorts or your legs that are the issue?
Endura firefly are nice short shorts and don't cost a bomb.Very good.
Another vote for single tracks here, they bug me how short they are
Cheers fellas, Im liking the Alan's, there's something strangely alluring about them…
Nipper I'm a 34" in Endura, much appreciate the offer.
Sounds like Singletracks are worth punt.
Singleyracks are short. I've got a pair i don't wear for that reason. Think they are 34. Drop me an email if interested.
cobbler, they are xl - im 34" pm your address abd i'll put them in the post.
If I were you I'd ignore MTB specific shorts altogether and go for some hiking shorts of some sort. Decathlon do some lovely men's walking/hiking shorts that are a few inches above the knee and made of a nice light fabric with a bit of stretch. I wear them on our cycle touring holidays and they're perfect.
I only clicked on this thread to post a pic of Alan Partridge. As Binners beat me to it, I have nothing else to add.

An old bloke did 10UTB this year in short silver lycra shorts. Kylie would have considered them too short. I believe he was serious but was too scared to go and ask.
I'd recommend giving the Endura Singletracks a go as well. I got a pair on CRC without trying them anywhere and wear them because I own them, but they are annoyingly short.
Will second Endura Singletrack,got a pair for xmas but went straight back as were way to short for my liking..
Nipper I 'm unable to pm you as my account is new (my old one disappeared after a prolonged absence), my email is slipstripsandhalls at hotmail.com if you could ping me an email I'll send you my address. I'll bung you some hard cash plus postage.
Thanks for the help y'all!
Yours always in silver lycra,
Steve
