Altura Mayhems are really superb shorts, come with a decent liner, and come in well under your budget. Got 2 pairs myself, one I got free as a subs deal but they were so good I got another.

I normally get a decent pair of lycra shorts then some cheap boardshort type things from a sale at JJB, JD, Sports Direct ect.

It can end up cheaper and you end up with a better pad.

Some deals on Gore stuff here; http://www.outside.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdSrch.cgi?formCategory=Bottoms

Not tried/tested so can't comment on how decent they are

Endura zymes are good, £30 on chain reaction, i have a pair

i have a pair of those alturas, they work well, but you do have to "break them in" as in they can hurt a little the first 2 or so rides.

I've got some enura Zyme shorts, and the fit is terrible. The legs are just too narrow.
I much prefer my Fox shorts.
The Enduras might work for you though, but I think it's a case of try before you buy

my only problem with them is the top button, always comes undone, easily solved with a belt though

Must be my massive Sequoia-like legs

They do seem much narrower than other shorts though, I'd still recommend trying them on before spending cash.

this looks like quite a good deal

I have 3 pairs of Hummvee's and love em....if you do go for them though, they are small sizes so a M will be around 32, a L a 34 and XL will be a 36"...they are really comfy and have loads of pockets. The removable inner is great !

another hummvee wearer here! good shorts and a good liner too!!!

Hummvees are very difficult to beat for VFM. The attention to detail that goes into the design and the choice of material result in a product that fits perfectly and is very very hard wearing.
Those who prefer cheapo home made JJB options have never tried them on.

As others have said Endura Humvee's are great shorts and good value. Only complaint is that they can get pretty hot in the summer. Keeping my eyes open for a pair of Humvee Lite's...

+1 Humvees

I bought a pair of Nema Scouts when they were on sale down to £40 from Wiggle and I liked em so much that I bought another pair lol.

Humvees. The liner is distinctly underwhelming but otherwise they are just orsum.

royal shorts are awesome. i bought some royal subs for £16 from crc reduced from £50. defenintly not the most comfortable for long rides but srtong, look good and some nice features
