Hi

Can anyone recommend 3/4 shorts? I have been riding in lycra tights/leggings but going to invest in knee/shin pads so will look silly! I recently ordered endura single track 3/4 they fit really nice but the butt was really baggy - looked like I was wearing a nappy when I was standing up straight and the next size down was way too snug on the hips! am I being too picky/vain on how they fit/look? or are there actually any out there that does look good as well as being practical! :)

    I tend to find that my Altura Synchros fit a lot better than my Endura Humvees. The Endura are really tight on the thighs, but really lose around the waist. Wish more companies did 3/4 ladies shorts, my knees are scarred from operations so I prefer to keep them hidden! :lol:

    Try the Loeka range.. they look really great and are an excellent fit. Chain Reactions Cycles does them and there's often really good sales prices to be had! No, you are not picky/vain for wanting to look good out on the trails.. it makes you ride better for sure when you are looking good!! :D
