for me at present, its my oakley shorts - but they're slowly falling apart after 5 years of riding.
endura's seem to give me problems (chaffing), just wondered what you lot swear by for comfort?
I bought some Madison ones from EBC, which are lovely for the price. The liner is really good, the baggy part well made and well cut. The only downer is the leg grippers are a bit tight, but otherwide they're great.
I do usually wear roadie lycra bibs under baggies though, Sombrio make nice simple ones with no liners.
Enduro baggies, cw liner (blue insert). Tight and comfy, plus pretty strong.
I was going to say my Oakley shorts, but now I see that may not be much help.
Shame they ran out of them on M&M Direct, they were only about £25 quid.
cannondale baggies with their own liner- superb
Older Assos FI.13 S2s or Gore Oxygen, the latter are substantially cheaper than the former, which have been replaced by the inferior (IMO) S5s.
yeah ive been looking at those madison ones - look pretty good for the cash.
Two pairs of Northwave treasure range 53/11s.
DHB's from Wiggle.
Absolutely outstanding.
Bib shorts at about £89 (I can't recall their name!).
One of THE best bits of bike kit I own.
'Nuff said really.
baggy or skinny?
tld xc (mtb) or santini road kit.
think im gonna get some lycra 3/4 bibs and some new baggies all being well (birthday soon!!)
just got no idea about what to take a punt on...
Spesh Enduro baggies are the best I've found (and I must have around 10 different types).
Dakine 8-Tracks. Very comfy.
Nema crown jewels here
The only downer is the leg grippers are a bit tight
for those [s]ample[/s] manly PP thighs ??
I 2nd the Altura shorts. I used to suffer from chafing and have to use minty arse lard, but since I've had these I've not needed any 🙂
My wife bought me some Fox 3/4 shorts for Christmas, I opened them up and and was horrified. I couldn't imagine anyone over the age of 16 and not a piss pot wearing dirt jumper wearing them.
But they are the most comfy and well designed shorts i have ever ridden in, they even have a special hanky attachment for wiping your glasses ( 😕 at least i presume for wiping glasses)
Sombrio badass with gore liner does the trick for me.
