Ground Effect Sputniks Shorts

4.6/5 (5 Reviews)

MSRP : $36.00


Product Description

Expedition issue cycling shorts as worn by Vladimir under his spacesuit on the ill-fated "Tour de la Lune". Constructed from tough Nylon Lycra with a moulded synthetic "chamois" pad to deliver plush, long range comfort and durability. Dead easy to care for and they dry out faster than a fast thing.

A great pair of knicks. Keep me happy on 100k+ rides on my hardtail. Hard to justify spending more on anything else.

Date Reviewed: July 9, 2007

Strengths:    Comfortable

Weaknesses:    life of pad

Bottom Line:   
Nice comfy shorts, but after a few months (using once / twice a week) they feel more like a pair of lycra jocks, rather than cycling specific shorts with a chamois! The padding is dead. They are strong, but if you want the pad to last longer, try something else. I love my other GE stuff though, just disappointed with these

Date Reviewed: June 12, 2003

Strengths:    Durable beyond comparison. I've had two pairs for over 5 years (2 years spent MTB racing) and they work like new.

Weaknesses:    Can't resist buying more ground effect gear ;-)

Bottom Line:   
If you want bike shorts that are comfortable, last a long time and at a good price this is it.
