Thought I liked my Singletrack II shorts...then yesterday I tried on (and bought two pairs) of Skylines... Comfy/no restrictiveness/no drop-crotch to snag on the saddle. Wow.
Any other fans?
Ps. 'Unobtrusive' to wear....not the colour 8)
Love mine for the same reasons as you and the colours, black & grey, are unobtrusive. I do fancy some red ones though 8)
Pretty good IMO.
My only real negative is the velcro rather than a proper zip.
My TLD girly shorts are ace too.
Red was £30 😀
pockets are a bit flimsy!!
Comfy shorts for me theses days are the Madisons - Zenith I think off top of my head.. Not quiet colours though, in general.
Tried them, didn't like the cut. Preferred the Fox Demo Freeride's.

Yep i've just gone from the Zeniths to the Addicts(dropped a size in process)
bought some 661's and two rides in really struggled to get on with them so they are gonna get sold on
yep got my fluro Yellows - tis the shiz..
Yep. got two pairs now. got some of the fluo yellow ones from crc a while back when they were on offer and liked them so much i bought a red set too.

Hmmm tasteful
I could do with some new shorts after another pair fell off me today and annoyed me the whole way round! I'll start mooching me thinks!
I use a pair for best....in black really nice an comfy ... I prefer Velcro for anti knob snagging and find it less to go wrong.
Where are they £30?
Good shout Bennn, just treated myself to a pair in red. Already got a black pair and they fit well and are wearing well after loads of abuse.
Go on eBay and buy some of the pairs from the far east for about £20 a pair, take a few weeks to arrive but still. Think the quality can be a little bit and miss, I got sent two pairs by mistake with the second pair being a fair bit different to the first pair in terms of quality etc.
My ACE shorts are well... 😀
Sombrio shorts are the toughest material known to the clothing world I have found as I have some old ones.
My Aces were £33 in sale at crc and took a punt and it turned good although why no zipped frontage?
Talking of Madison, but am I the only one who finds that their sizing is way to big, I'm usually a large (35-36 waist) but I find even their Mediums start to slip down?
+1 Zeniths
+1 you need to go small in them (I'm usually large, medium zeniths fit me)
Alpineharry those are fakes. A mag ran a story on TLD counterfeits not so long ago.
been wearing them for a few years, got 2 pr of red and a light brown (which they don't do no more)

Is that the Northern end of Lake Garda?

I do know that but they're a fraction of the price of the real ones.
🙄
The shorts have a fairly short 'rise'. My evil half says thats the drop to the crotch-they just dont snag on the saddle so you can get away with a higher saddle in some situations I've found 😀
Thats good attention to detail IMO as my other shorts always catch.
yup got a pair recently from wheelbase, been great, no snagging on seat, fairly light but well constructed…happy with the pockets as i don't ride with stuff in them and prefer no pockets on shorts…. went to by a second pair but they had no more in black...
