had a few and none have lasted more than 6 months really. I ride sat down a lot so wear the arse out with all my weight and calderdale mud.

Having said that the madison soft shell ones are heading for their second year now. Not waterproof but keep it a bit warm. Quite thick

Sorry to resurrect this ... but the recent weather suggests I might need waterproof shorts.

How baggy are the RAF/ Army Goretex ones .... i.e I I have a 38" waist do I buy 36s?

Or are there any better solutions around a year down the line ...?

Thanks

I’m using 7mesh waterproof shorts and they have been excellent!

Bought some if the Tenn waterproof shorts last week when they were on a 60% sale. They seem pretty comfy on, and have a nice high back.

Funny sizing though, based on some old comments on here I bought the 40" waist ones, and they fit my 34.5" waist just right!

First ride out on them tomorrow, should be a good test!

Another one for Tenn shorts here

You must measure your waist with a tape measure and use that measurement when buying, DO NOT go by your jean size

The newer ones have belt loops and a elasticated waist so the fit is much better

At the price they are (i paid £23) if they only last a year they are cheap to replace

The zip on mine broke after 4 months, contacted Tenn who said no problem we will send you another pair, never asked to see or return the broken pair so they are now emergency back ups (cant really see the fly is open when worn)
