Favorite Trail:
Otter Creek
Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$38.00
Strengths:
Durable, extremely lightweight, great airflow, keeps "everything" right where it should be. Has a great inner leg pad, while it doens't eliminate everything, there's a huge difference. PRICE!!!
Weaknesses:
Mine didnt have cargo pockets on the thighs, the side pockets are useless on a trail. Its all the store had (imagine that) for shorts, but I really enjoy them.
Bike Setup:
Trek 4500
Bottom Line:
Well worth the 40 bucks. I don't ride enough at the moment to warrant $100 on shorts i'll wear for their purpose two times a week. When i get the time to ride more, i'll try something in the upper range, and probably love it. But these puppies are comfortable, breathable, cheap, and readily available. Great shorts.
