Ground Effect Ranchsliders Shorts

4.67/5 (3 Reviews)
MSRP : $55.00


Product Description

Cool threads for tackling the urban singletrack, crashing the curb and leaping down steps. Bulletproof construction stolen from the Supertankers combined with a genuine performance fit and staunch good looks. You can pedal to work, park 'em under the desk for the day and then slide out early to hit the strip.

Date Reviewed: April 16, 2009

Strengths:    Long leg fit for riding. Strong material, stretch back, alot of pockets, seat padding but you need a padded short. Contoured knees with a slick padding under them. Zippered fly. Waist strap buckels on side and not on front makes for a comforatable bent over riding. Design quality. They stay in place when riding.

Weaknesses:    None.

Bottom Line:   
I bought 5 pairs of these pants in case they stop making them.
They are not to baggy but they are roomy enough for riding.
Ground Effects people are great.
They stay in place, you do not have to keep adjusting them.
Ankle adjustments.

Strengths:    Perfect for riding or just sloping about in.
Heaps of pockets. Padded seat.


Weaknesses:    Only come in one length, so the bandy-legged will have to sweet talk the missus into cutting them down and rehemming them (not an easy job due to the heavy weight material and the ankle tab gussets).

Bottom Line:   
These are the big brother of the Supertankers (see reviews) , great for the cooler weather, on or off the bike.
Tougher than jeans, yet comfy enough to wear without underwear (beware the zip, it's got more teeth than a barracuda!).

Submitted by Gareth a Downhiller from Dorset, UK

Date Reviewed: March 2, 2004

Strengths:    Very strong construction, good baggy fit with adjustable velcro's at the base of the leg. Adjusters on each side of the waist make the fit firm and comfortable

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
Bought these with a Frosty Boy and have been stoked with both. I did think the fit was too large at first with the legs being too long for starters but turns out this is excellent when your on the bike. These will fit over a set of leg/shin guards if that's your bag. This is another great product from the Ground Effect guys. Can't fault anything here.
