[Closed] Slimmer cut MTB shorts?

Lycra?

Man up and wear it, it's great.

Rapha?

the fit of those rapha would be great at a cheaper price

Agreed. They are made from Schoeller Nanosphere, which isn't cheap, but even then....

Polaris used to so a similar short in a cheaper material but I haven't seen them on sale for ages.

Here's another option

too short (pardon the pun)

Swrve? They are a slim fit, and a bit cheaper than Rapha. http://swrve.co.uk/mens%20shorts.html

My slimmest and indeed favourite pair of baggies are/is Troy Lee skyline, fabric is a bit stretchy so I suppose they get away with a closer fit for a given size. About £50 last summer on crc when I bought mine.

Sombrio Highline Epik's.

Not cheap, but utterly well made and fit amazingly.

I loves mine to bits, so much so, I bought another pair.

ps, they don't hang down as much as in that pic, they are about level with my kneecap. YMMV.

Any more ideas?

I think that the problem with longer, narrow baggies is that they rub against your thighs too much and can actually restrict the freedom of movement of your leg (I have some Endura Humvee 3/4s that are a bit like this).

Any Sombrio's, but the Highline's in particular. Comfiest thing I've ever ridden in by a country mile!

Aye, absolutely brilliant, got a set cheap on CRC, love them.

Endura singletrack are tightish fitting, lose enough to feel free but but too tight for knee pads.

Pook as i am not chris hoy or a fat bastard that is not an option
