interesting, thanks. I ordered the tenn ones in Large, based on the Amazon feedback, so sounds like they may need changing for a medium !
What about a spray-can of the new MucOff Fabric Protect - that should make any shorts waterproof! 😉
Mine are both size Small as suspected iain :/
I got a pair of Endura MT500 last year - absolute crap. The arse lasted about a dozen rides, of which I'd probably class 3 or 4 as being wet. It's a shame, as the rest of the shorts still look brand new, and they're comfy as hell.
Same here - look great, fit great, but in practice they just disintegrate in anything approaching real use. If I remember correctly, they are not sold as 'waterproof', though - just 'showerproof'. Although 'showerproof' has always struck me as marketing speak for 'not really waterproof at all, but we want you to buy this product thinking it is'.

no worries, sold them the other day anyway 🙂
the tenn ones are yet to arrive....
Bought some Tenn shorts for last winter, they just about lasted the winter before the ar5e wore out.They weren't particularly waterproof anyway.....I wouldn't buy again..
Well - those are the most expensive shorts I've ever bought.... better be good!
What did you get?
My mudrides have finally shipped from Germany after being on back order for weeks.
Where did you get your Mudridess from in Germany Jambo?
exxpozed. although I wouldn't believe the 6-8 day lead time on the site. I ordered on the 24th October, they got dispatched today (12th) after lots of emails.
So 18 days...they better bloody fit...
Ordered the mudrides... although now you've said that, I'm going to keep an eye on them.
Might've ordered a new helmet too after an email from leisure lakes.
Turned up today. Snug fit in the small. I'm a 32" waist in most stuff and I think they'll be comfy. Really nice build quality and feel.
Altura 3/4's for me. Ive had them for about 4 years now, still waterproof and in 1 piece. I do think this will be their last winter as they are showing signs of wear on the seams and beginning to get the crinkled fabric that suggest delamination will set in soon. Still 4 seasons is a good life span in my opinion

Ugh why oh why did I buy some MT500's (you really would think [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/grrr-endura ]I'd know better[/url]). I'm a couple of rides in and they do seem pretty good but they will probably fall apart like pretty much every other bit of new Endura kit.
No belt on the Mudrides is there?
My Altura's and Enduras have fallen apart
Interested in the Raceface Agents too,My Altura Attacks have bust the ass on them and no longer WP :p

Nope. Two adjusters on the sides. Crotch looks to be pretty heavy duty cordura or similar.
Altura Attacks get braces now 🙂

Mine were heading the same way, got my mate who repairs waders to re-seam them and repair a delamination section.
First ride in mudrides. Worth every penny, quick rinse with hose while cleaning bike and looking good as new.
Big zip vents down the thigh do a great job of letting the heat out on long climbs.
Struggling to find mudrides in a 34 they all seem to be sold out
Think you'll get them on the sweet protection site in any size you want at the moment.
My altura braces have ripped their loop off on one side, not that securely sewn in. I've got a pair of dhb flashlight shorts that are yet to see action....fingers crossed.

Out of interest I checked, even they only have them in S & XL.
Hi Guys, My Name is Graham and I am from Tenn Outdoors, I just wanted to say that I have been reading your comments about our waterproof shorts and our Product Development have taken the issues on board.
All of our waterproof shorts will now have additional reinforcement in the seat which should stop some of the problems you guys are having.
Thanks and have a great day
Graham
Update on the winter agent shorts - they're going back. Shame really as they are beautifully made but they just aren't waterproof. I think the material itself is waterproof but water still gets in through the seams even though they are taped. For less extreme conditions than we've had oop north in the last couple of weeks they would probably be good but I wanted something that would keep my arse dry in bad conditions and they weren't up to the job.
I've got some madison addicts as a replacement and hopefully they'll be better.
I'm massively impressed with my new endura mt500 full waterproof shorts (not the spray which I also have!)
Yesterday was the end of earth as we know weather wise and my anus hole stayed completely dry throughout 5 hours of peak bashing and what seemed like endless river descents
Every other part of me was sopping wet to the bone apart from my butt!
Wear wise there doesn't appear to be any obvious bum wear but they are only 5 rides old, if they do go around the bum I'll send them back I reckon but if they get me through a peak winter like this then they are a bloody good short, nice slim fitting too
My friend and I rode out on Sunday on a very wet trail.
My Tenn shorts were wet on the rear within a few mins. The front survived well.
My friend in his endura mt500 had a dry bum after 2 hours.
Peaks grit is eating my altura 3/4" first pair lasted a couple of months second pair (warrenty) are 3 rides in and I'm betting they last another 2 rides max.
Any one noticed the bum lasting longer on a seat with no raised stiching?
Currenty use a spoon but thinking of Chainging to a fabric scoot one
My Mudrides turned up today - almost excited to find some crap weather to test them!!
[quote=PrinceJohn ]My Mudrides turned up today - almost excited to find some crap weather to test them!!
3 proper gopping wet rides in on mine and still really impressed.
Mudrides are awesome.
2 horrific uplift days and a manky day at coed y brenin have shown me they are the best waterproof shorts I have found
I can't find anywhere with mud rides instock where did you get yours?
I got mine from leisurelakes, but that was a couple of months ago.
Stif have them in blue in sizes small or xl
small is larger than you think though. I'm 32" waist in most jeans etc and they fit me.
hose them down with the bike and they are good to go for the next ride.
exxpozed in germany.
exposed seem to be sold out, I have a feeling i will be a medium, can only find the small and XL ones. Found another german site but they won't let me register with a uk postcode.
even sweet only had S & XL on their website.
grahamattenn - I bought your ones from your eBay store earlier in this thread and they are as yet unworn. Can't see contact details, will you exchange them for the reinforced updates ? Email in profile. Thanks.
Since I can't find the Mudrides in large I think I'll take a chance on the Royal Storm ones. Anyone using them?
I'm happy enough with my tenns. I don't expect any short
To be waterproof as such. But no trench arse is desirable
Had half a dozen rides in them.the cuts not as good as my altura but the big Velcro waste straps are ace.
Cheap n if they last a winter I'm happy.
just to add that I contacted Graham at Tenn on the back of his earlier post re feedback being actioned and he's mailed me back already, so quiet excellent customer service. Like 🙂
Another one happy with a pair of Tenns - they're a good fit for me and had em out in some horrible conditions. Be interested to see how long they last, but at the price I'll not be complaining if they see out the winter.
first outing in the Tenns tonight and they were spot on. Good fit and wide waistband stops them sliding down much over bibs. Proper wet and manky and they did their job fine. Hosed down and now in the wash 🙂
I contacted Sweet Protection asking when they are expecting Mudrides in large. I was told next spring/summer!!!
