Hi,

Now that we're being bathed in glorious sunshine (well atleast it was here today, for about an hour) I'm looking for a new pair of either baggy shorts or 3/4 length shorts. So far I've looked at:

http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Endura-Hummvee-3-4-Length-Baggy-Cycling-Shorts_15166.htm

Does anyone have any opinions on any of these or I'm open to any other reccomendations.

I'm a bit loath to spend more money on Endura stuff because the last pair of trousers I bought from them basically fell apart at the seams.

    I've had a pair of Humvee 3/4's and they are good - warm, comfortable and plenty of pockets. Not had any problems with falling apart (now over 2 years old and had a good bit of use).

    I have a pair of Humvees, Zymes and burners..

    All really impressed with.. Although the lazer cut vents on the Burners make them look uber cool... ;)

    I didn't want to be spending £50-odd quid on some shorts, so went to Mountain Warehouse and picked up a pair for about £20. Combined with a pair of padded boxers/undershots (Endura) they are comfortable, look good, and represent good value.
