from Tampa Florida Date Reviewed: April 17, 2007 Strengths: Light weight and look good. It is hot as hell in Florida and the humidity will kill you riding cross country. These shorts breath well and are light weight which is huge here. Weaknesses: The sizes are off. I wear a 34 in every pair of shorts I've ever owned. I bought these in a 36 to wear pads underneath them and they are about a 1/2 size too small. If you like your shorts tight, buy these one size too big. If you like them loose better go with 2 sizes too big. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Santos, T.O.E., Alafia Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: BeyondBikes.com Similar Products Used: All kinds of different mountain bike shorts Bike Setup: Giant Reign, fox float front end, float 4 rear suspension. Do a lot of drops and jumps.

from Fontana, CA Date Reviewed: November 5, 2006 Strengths: They look good, inexpensive (comparatively). Dry fast. Light. Weaknesses: The '05 shorts had a nice inner liner and chamois. But the '06 liner and chamois sucks. Big time. I had bought the '05 and loved them. So, I got the '06 and immediately noticed the difference. The liner in the '05 was a lycra/spandex material. Stretch and well made. The '06 models have a more cotton-like liner. The chamois came unstitched on both pairs I bought. The pad bunched up and was terrible. This was after only a few times wearing them and maybe a month or so. I hand washed both pairs and hung them dry so I have no idea how this could happen unless they were very poorly made. I would not recommend these shorts. (I like the Hoss Ponderosa, though.) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Strawberry Peak/Josephine - San Gabriels Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: JensonUSA Similar Products Used: Hoss Ponderosa. '05 base shorts Bike Setup: Er... does this matter in a short review?
