Strengths:
Sharpest looking shorts I own! (White ones) Durable, protective, very well fitting.
Weaknesses:
No pockets. I need pockets. I'm a girl. A little expensive but I believe they will last for a while. Made of a stiff material but that's why they are so durable.

Bike Setup:
Santa Cruz VP Free, Marzocchi 888, Fox DHX 5.0 Coil
Bottom Line:
I have only owned these shorts for about one month. I have worn them at Diablo Freeride Park about three or four times and they hold up amazingly. A few crashes and there is no wear. The zipper has not failed, the closing latch is more of a motorcross style and I think it is great. Fit pretty true to size, look real nice and match almost any jersey. Also, I think they're on sale now. Check the FOX site...

Strengths:
Tough as nails, shell is bomb-proof, stretches in the right places, breaths well, nice ladder-lock buckle
Weaknesses:
little heavy, stiff when new, not cheap, no padding
Similar Products Used:
AXO descend, AZONIC
Bike Setup:
'05 Fisher Cake
Bottom Line:
Awesome shorts, breaths well and real comfortable while sitting on the saddle and cranking on the pedals, a little heavy for XC, but built for freeriding and DH... until it gets broken-in after a few rides, can be a little stiff and irritating... expensive with no padding, built to last... used them in every ride - 3 times/week since March.
