Strengths: Comfortable and long lasting.Bottom Line: Very comfortable for longer rides and also cool in summer.Chamios rides well with the loose fiting short and performs great. Used these for 4 years and still in good condition. Tough wearing and only been machined wash with normal load. Highly recommended and from great company that puts alot of cash and grants back into Mtb trails.

Strengths: Very comfortable, quality padded insertWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: Have found these shorts to be more comfortable than wearing knicks with shorts over top. I ordered the large size and am normally 92cm/36inch waist and they fit perfectly. A spare tube repair patch is sewn inside the left pocket and easy to remove, but you dont know it's there when riding, if fact the shorts do not restrict your movements at all so they perform pretty much like knicks. They are also cool with the lycra mesh insert!

Strengths: Comfort, durabilityWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: Very comfortable short, the inner is really good and with the mesh on the top of the thigh they run cooler than full lycra in summer nad dont hold as much water in winter/rain.
Never had a problem with rash etc even on 6 hr rides
Buy them you wont be disapointed.I will buy again
Nice length above the knee so no interference with seat etc
Check out thier Merino tops just got the summer short sleeve job and it is great even in 25 deg plus temps.

Strengths: Very comfortable, cool enough for Summer in WA yet indestructible. Still going strong after riding twice a week for 3 years and eating dirt or hugging a tree most rides......"you do the math" as you Americans love to say:
2 x 52 x 3 = 312.
Weaknesses: Conservative colour optionsBottom Line: Excellent shorts: really well designed and made.
Even better value than usual given crashing Kiwi dollar.

Strengths: Good quality construction & materials. Easy, straightforward ordering from Ground Effects, and didn't take long to ship from Oz to USA. Well vented and comfy for baggies.Weaknesses: Ground Effects seems to have spared no expense making these shorts, so I'm puzzled as to why the bottom hem of the liners has no siliconized elastic grippers. The liner rides up in the first few minutes, and makes for a less-than-comfortable ride. Also, they could be just a bit longer.Bottom Line: Fine product, but the lack of the gripper thread on the legs means these pretty much stay on the shelf.

Strengths: Exellent pad and inner short, Ventilating pockets, very comfortable, very light nylon that is durable Did I say comfortable?Weaknesses: Have not found anyBottom Line: I have been searching for the ultimate shorts.I found them. If you want a baggy,Functional,comfy pair of all day comfort get these.When I first received them, I could not believe how easy they went on.The belt keeps them secure and I forgot they were on.I have no resrtictive movements with them. They are realy comfy.I will be getting other products from the guys Down Under.Looks like the line of products were designed by MTbikers. The inner short is not too tight and my package is not crushed from all day epics. Before I would change my shorts immediately after. Not any more.Heaven.I will be getting the "Frosty Boy" long sleeve shirt and the "Ranchsliders" pants. Check out thier site and you will find something that fits your riding style.I never reviewed shorts before , but now I must spread the joy.
