These are the most interesting shorts we’ve tried (and possibly the most expensive too). Consisting of a pair of bib shorts with a baggy outer shell attached, they’re a hybrid construction of the combination that riders who put in a lot of cross-country miles tend to wear most days. And it works.
The mesh bib shorts are fantastically comfy, with the best MTB-specific pad we’ve tried, and the baggy shell is well shaped for a perfect fit over the top. Gore have even come up with a simple solution that means you don’t have to de-robe at the trailside when you need a leak. Our only complaint is that the legs of the outer shorts aren’t long enough – we’d love them to be dropped over the knee and took to wearing knee warmers to extend them because they feel so short on longer legs.
