My current baggy shorts have shrunk in the wash considerably over Christmas and I need some new ones.
Need to be cheap (Sub £30), tough enough to laugh in the face of brambles (within reason) and not too long, stop above the knee as I have big quads.
Riding is mostly in good weather and commuting, just occasional wet/fithly. Don't want anything 10000% waterproof or with a click in liner, just want some basic sho
I've currently got some Madison ones, quite old and I think they were just called "trail shorts" but they've done me well.
Something like the Madison freewheel shorts, but I think that's discontinued.
Any suggestions?

Sub £30 is a tough ask. Perhaps accepting they'll forever be shrunk and you will never wear them again will allow you to increase the budget.
My endura shorts shrunk in my cupboard so i do feel your pain.

I've picked up a set of More Mile baggies for £20, but they're 2 in 1 (i.e. a pair of lycra shorts with normal shorts over the top). I'm willing to give them a try but not sure how I'll get on with them. The outer short material is very thin.
