MTB Shorts

kickaxe

Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting a new pair of mtb shorts (no spandex ). Obviously, it would be optimal to try some on, but even though I live in a pretty big city there are no shops that actually have mtb clothing. So I have decided to get some on the Internet (they have to be shipped to Germany). I have been looking at these for example:

Can someone recommend other shorts like these at a similar price? Also, are O'Neal jerseys good for trail riding? Like this:

Thanks in advance!

Humvee's for me as well. I've quite a few pair of MTB shorts but always go for the Humvee's first. Also have an O'Neil short sleeve jersey which is great in summer as it's nice and light and seems to breathe very well. Only thing is its white and stains easily.

Another vote for endura hummvee shorts, I even wear mine off the bike due to the multi pockets and fit with the liner taken out.

I'm going to be purchasing another pair quite soon.

Another vote for Hummvee. Really hard wearing, can't go wrong with them

Depends on Budget. I have used Endura Singletrack for years and sworn by them, but I have to admit to becoming a Gore Whore recently. I have a pair of the Gore Alp X windstoppers and they are fantastically comfy, as are the Alp X 2 in 1 shorts, but neither are cheap

Endura hummvees and zymes for me too. But I found the sizing varies wildly. I got my hummvees a couple of years ago and had to go XL (32" waist). Bought zymes this year and the mediums are still a bit loose.

Hummvees all day long.

The alp-x stuff is very good as is alot of the gore clothing in general.

Endura's. Good fit and don't turn to cardboard after a few washes. Although my latest approach is to just hang em up dirty and bash the mud off when they're dry. I reckon the washing machine knackers stuff more than wearing them!

At the risk of sounding like I broken record... I've been pleased with my humvees.. And when you consider they come with inners.. Very good value.. Although I only put the incontinence pants on of it's cold or I'm doing a long ride.

But it's true about the sizing you'll more than likely want the next size up to what should fit so if ordering online make sure you can exchange them without too much bother.

Makes for a more consistent ride - you smell as bad at the start as the end :-)
