Hi netski, I bought a pair of these a few months ago and they've been great for what they cost. They have knicks/chamois on the inside that fit really well. Size is just a bit tricky over the internet!

Do you know his size as I have a couple of pairs here going very cheap, but not used much at all. Maybe twice. I'm not a big fan of the pants style riding shorts as they rub over the knee which sh#ts me to tears. I'm an L- XL or about size 36 waist.

Located Everton Hills.

Thanks ZepinAtor - hubby's a 32-34 so they may be a bit too big. Hope someone takes them off your hands soon .

Shy Shorts

If you want to spend the $$ Pearlizumi make some decent pairs. I have got three pairs, one of them for 4yrs now and still going strong.

Just be careful though some of the sizing is a little weird, and some guys are really particular about how tight/loose they like them.

Do a ring around, there maybe some stores that ave them on special.
