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.

Favoriate Trail:Fox Creek
Duration Product Used:6 months
Strengths:Comfortable
Weaknesses:life of pad
Similar Products Used:nearly all of them
Bike Setup:who cares
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
