What are the reasons why I would choose to buy one over the other..?
Shorts.
If you've got it, flaunt it.
3/4 will rub on your knees and be really annoying. I had some slightly long shorts and they drove me crazy!
Just switched to 3/4's this winter,much better,as in warmer,keep a bit more crap off you than shorts & you soon get used to them rubbing your knees...
Shorts look better and are more versatile.
3/4 shorts and leg armour-perfect combination for those winter rides.
Shorts + knee warmers. Then take off the knee warmers and stuff 'em in your pocket if the weather warms up a bit.
3/4's are good when it's around 5 deg.C and lower. Nice for kicking around in too, like when you get to enjoy a fun afternoon in A&E...
Waddayamean they rub your knees? poppycock.
We have four seasons so we have three lengths of leg wear to suit 😕
3/4s keep your knees warm when it is cool. It may be surprising to hear that shorts don't keep your knees warm. Cold knees aren't good.
