[Closed] Shorts for long skinny legs?

I’ve always been a lycra guy but want to give shorts a go just because I feel I look weird with lycra and knee/elbow pads.

Bought some Altura shorts a few years ago but I look like an 80’s footballer with them, would like a tighter fit.

Beeing 6ft tall and using size M knee pads (so skinny legs), is there anyone with similar measures that found a good fitting pair of shorts?

cheers!

Skinny pins here too 😉

I've got Endura shorts as they have the leg adjusters, or they did have. Bought them last year.

Endura Hummvees are biased to the slimmer leg in my experience.

Drop this company an email, as I asked the same question and got nice shorts for riding but also don’t look like cycling shorts, so good for general wear. Then got another pair of the denim cycling shorts.
