Decent shorts, fit was a bit off

By Little Green Jedi Ranked #291 - Men's Shorts February 26, 2009

I am more or less a novice mountain biker, so bear this in mind here. I liked the idea of the removable chamois that attaches to the outer shorts, but in practice it didn't come off too well. The points of attachment between the chamois and shorts seems precarious at best. I did however like the fit of the chamois shorts, but the outer shorts were a bit too sloppy big on me. I had to use the inner elastic adjustment straps and tighten them all the way down, and then the fit got even more weird with most of the shorts still being too loose and the very top of the waistband being too tight. Fit issues aside, the features and construction of the shorts were nice. Side cargo pockets were nice, and so were the zip-vents. The fly was kind of cool too, in that it was a neoprene stretch type with no zipper. I ultimately returned these, but if I hadn't had the issues with fit, I might have kept them. They were a good buy as purchased from SaC, but I don't think they're worth full price.
