All rounder shorts?

DHO Dude

Im after some good all round shorts, Theyre gonna get most use riding to uni and back, but they also need to be nice and durable for the DH/FRing, and comfy for the XC jaunts. Any ideas? I was looking at the Mace Ignitions and the Sombrio Rogue Enduros. Are these any good? Budget is about £50 give or take. Cheers

Are you wanting something with a padded lycra inner short as well as the baggy outer, or are you going to use a separate liner?

i got the specialized trail shorts from my lbs. they come with a nice padded liner too. Also within your budget.

they get used probably 5 out of 7 days and no problems in nearly 6 months use.

Hi DHo dude,

I got a pair of Mace ignitions and think they are an ace short personally, tough buid ideal dh/fr/am,they look good and are comfortable. No they don't come with a padded liner.
The altura mayhem 3/4 are worth a look at as well, comfy, tough, lightand they come with a liner which is padded, mine cost £45 from Evan's, i wouldn't say that they would be ideal for dh but everything else and urban.

Hope that this helps a bit

Cheers all, I like the look of the Altura's if they've got a bit of padding in them they might be ideal. That said those Swobo's are a bit of alright too... decisions decisions....

Endura Singletrack - either the short ones (which I've got) or the 3/4 length ones (which I'm getting for Xmas!) - utterly brilliant and cheapish too.
