Submitted by Nicholas a Cross Country Rider from Louisville, KY, US
Date Reviewed: October 8, 2007
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $55.00
Purchased At:Bicycle Sport
Strengths:Comfortable, stylish, lots of storage space.
Weaknesses:Inner short isn't very durable.
Bike Setup:2006 GF Piranha (mostly stock).
Bottom Line:Decent shorts, but if you're riding hard and often (or need to wash them frequently), the mesh of the inner shorts will begin to separate from the chamois within a couple months. For the casual rider, they could last a few years, but for anyone more serious, you might need to replace them every year or more often.

The padding has done it's job admirably. The shorts look good, they're comfortable, and I would definitely buy another pair (or two). There might be better shorts out there, but not in this price range.

Submitted by Travis a Cross Country Rider from Miami, OK, USA
Date Reviewed: July 2, 2005
Favorite Trail:Joplin Singletracks
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $34.00
Purchased At:Love2Pedal (ebay)
Strengths:They're baggy! You can also wear them to other places while off your bike because they're not skin tight. They also have a pad which is sufficient for longer rides.
Weaknesses:A little short, length is a few inches above the knee. The pad could stand to be a little thicker, though, for more comfort.

Bike Setup:Rocky Mountain-Element 70
Rocky Mountain-Trailhead
Bottom Line:Nice shorts for riding around, especially for longer rides when the pad is useful. They are comfortable, cool, and neat looking. A great value!
