Question for Endura Pro SL II owners

Have you noticed any signs of the grippers at the bottom of the leg coming off? I have a pair of Endura FS260 Pro shorts and I really like the pad, but the gripper on the right leg has completely peeled off with little use. The gripper on the Pro SL II's looks slightly different so I'm hoping that's solved the problem.

Cheers

    Not that I know of, everyone seems to rave about them and the left leg is fine. I've contacted the place I bought them from and they've asked for pictures. I bought them back in Sept 17 though, so quite a while, even though I only used them a handful of times before it started to peel.

    I had this issue. The issue you mention is something Endura were aware of as I rang them and they replaced mine under warranty. The new version has a new gripper. Hope that helps.

    Number of problems with our Endura club kit, lot of people not very impressed.

    Don't know didn't pay too much attention as I've no intention of buying it. World Tour jersey sleeves fraying was the one that I remember but there were a couple of other issues.

    I contacted Endura who told me to contact the place I purchased them from. They have issued me with a refund as they don't have any in stock...which is a bit frustrating as I picked them up for £50 in the sale. Oh well, I'm going to give La Passione shorts a try and see what happens.

    Be warned, the leg grippers on those are (or at least were) horrifically tight, leading to sausage leg on all but long-dead people and mannequins.
