The updated Endura Singletracks are very much shorts of two halves. The fit through the body is very good indeed – the back of the waist is nice and high, and the rise is spot on for a neat, secure feel.
There’s stretch where you need it in the back yoke and legs, and zipped vents and a DWR coating for the Cordura fabric tick the features boxes too. Unfortunately it’s a different story for the bottom half of the shorts. The legs were just too short and too narrow for our admittedly tall but not especially beefy tester. And that’s a shame, because Endura’s compatible 3/4-length bib liner is excellent and the two pieces work together very well as a system. Our best advice is to try them – if they fit you, these shorts are a bargain. They’re also available with a (non-bib) liner for 21$ more.
