[#8379458]

For most riding duties, I have a couple of pairs of [url= https://www.swrve.co.uk/collections/shorts/products/lightweight-wwr-trouser-shorts ]Swvre shorts[/url]. They're excellent, but I cannot wear kneepads with them because they're little and short and cute-sy and give me horrific twerp-gap.

Anyone recommend something a bit longer and fuller for kneepad wearing duties? Troy Lee Motos are far too heavy, I don't want anything massive.

Thanks y'all. ๐Ÿ™‚

They are kind of awesome and comfy, need some more pairs, nice and light for the temp too, stretchy on the waiste and resonable cut

Mike you beat me to it. I have a set of those Morvelo RAD shorts and they are fantastic. So many little features and they seem to be that perfect length and fit for me. No **** gap but not overly long. Well with the money.

If you're a lanky streak of pish like myself and need a slightly longer (16") inseam then Dakine 8-Tracks have been my go-to for a few years now for the no-gap reason.

Intrepid Apparel are currently selling off their old kit. The Campaign shorts are nothing short of superb (if a little heavy for hot summer) and I have a pair of Freemotions upstairs waiting to be tested.

I just bought a new pair of Fox demo freeride shorts off ebay, they were 2015 ones and are a good inch longer than my 2016 ones in same size.
They are already a fairly long shorts anyway. They are a great fit for a slim 6'3", not too baggy, could be the best shorts I've had.
