I know it sounds funny but I want Dh shorts that cover my knees and don't get stuck on my knee pads. Yeah, I have long legs.

Are the Fox Blitz shorts long? I tried some Troy Lee Moto's and they weren't long enough. I know there are many knicker length pants out there and that's not really what I'm looking for.

Try Oakley Feature's. The inseam is like 14-15", and they don't really get hung up on your pads too much. backcountry.com has them for about $32.

When the dirt and pads pinch the fabric you get holes. Most of them come above the knees for that reason.

sombrio season shorts.. like 40 bucks on pricepoint

sombrios are def long but really narrow and get caught on my strait knee pads so i gave up on em as they drove me nuts. Oakley's are long enough to cover my pasty thights but are nice and wide at the bottom so they dont get caught on the pads.

my fox blitz shorts were long. too long. i ended cutting them.

Chrome Knickers seem to work well, they reach well below the knee

I know this may sound stupid, but if you don't need a built in chamois, consider some Dickies work shorts. They are long even if you are skinny, they will cover your knees. And I guarantee they will be more tear resistant than any DH Bike short out there. Once you get them worn in, they are not restrictive at all.

So, at least consider it. :thumbsup:

yeah, dickies are long and super tough. way comfy after you break them in too...

They're called Wildcards. I can personally vouch for these shorts; best I've owned. They're plenty long, wide inside the legs, and waterproof! Unfortunatly, Pricepoint's out of the XL and XXL sizes.

I dig the Race Face DH 3/4 ones...

 

[artnshel]

All good suggestions, thanks.

The Wildcards look good but I need the XL too.

hab1b, how tall are you and what size do you wear. Too long is what I want to hear.

The Dickies, saying they look good is one thing but the picture doesn't lie, they were long and looked good.

 

[Lakerat_sr11]

As far as the dickies durability, I have been wearing dickies for over two years now. I was working one day and the side of my pants got caught on some 28ga sheetmetal and ripped a hole about the size of a pencil eraser in it. I have had the same thing happen to wranglers and the hole just kept getting bigger. In the dickies, the hole is the same size as it was 2 years ago.

Extreme durability.

UMMM PANTS! ahahahahahah

but for real Race Face DH 3/4 short...cant beat it! I don't dig the whole baggy thing....the RF 3/4 short fits well and they are low profile so they don't get caught up on your bike!

 

[jf951]

wear the motos and sag the **** out of them

 

[blender]

umm.. aren't those called manpris?

 

[SHIVER ME TIMBERS]

[.WestCoastHucker.]

Go to your nearest walmart and get the Cholo edition dickies that run down to your ankles.

Check out Spectrum Techwear. The Wilson's are fairly long and not too heavy. Other than that, Dickies rock (cheap, readily available).
