from San Diego Date Reviewed: August 27, 2001 Strengths: These shorts are dyno. They sit up in the crotch real well and don't slide down at all. I love the handy velcro zipper, it's really unique. These are cool to wear around all day if you want. But for the ride they can't be beat. They are strong and look new after a hard year of riding. I can't seem to rip them up so it is going to be a 5 flamer of fire manure. Weaknesses: They cost a bunch but got mine for half price. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Coyote, Dead Cow, Bulldog Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $35.00 Purchased At: San Diego bike swapmeet Similar Products Used: Zoic, ST, Performance, Primal Bike Setup: Gunnar Rock Hound, Z2Atom 80 forks, Xt everything, WTB laserbeam rims, teflon cables,My dream bike!

from Denver, COlorado Date Reviewed: May 11, 2001 Strengths: Tough and comfortable. These shorts will soak up abrasion that would shred most other clothing. They shed water well instead of soaking through. They don't get in the way or bunch up or anything because of the way the fabric is cut and put together. Stitching is tough as nails. The fly is pretty cool. They look good. Weaknesses: A little expensive but that's what it takes to get a really good product. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Deer Creek Canyon Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: www.roachclothing.com Similar Products Used: REI bike shorts, Misty Mountain baggies, other nylon shorts Bike Setup: Rocky Mountain Vapor w/ RF

from Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: March 9, 2001 Strengths: ROACH quality, made in Canada, lifetime warranty, bombproof, light, breathable, nice big pockets, great fly Weaknesses: Price, if you pay full retail, but it is worth it for a short that will last forever. No liner, but some would consider that an advantage 'cause they can wear their favourite pair of lycra shorts underneath (I don't have lycra shorts, though) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Bird Sanctuary Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: Toronto Bicycle Show Similar Products Used: Normal baggy shorts with boxers, not recommended Bike Setup: '00 Schwinn Moab 1, Thomson, Syncros, Profile, SDG Bel-Air saddle

from Whistler Date Reviewed: May 28, 2000 Strengths: Tough, durable, excellent fit, and stylish. To give you an example of the toughness... I just fell off an elevated log the other day, the shorts snagged on a snapped-off branch and held ALL my weight right at a seam. No tearing or anything! Well impressed. I'm also still wearing a pair of Indy shorts I bought 5 years ago. Weaknesses: All cycling clothing is expensive, and Roach is no exception. If you're from the states the exchange rate helps you out though. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Nema Bike Setup: Downhill style
