Can we just say that we hate having to cut the loops that some manufacturers use to join their liners to the outer shell of their shorts? It just feels wrong taking a knife/scissors to new kit.
That said, the cost of this shorts-liner combo is very keen indeed. The outer shorts are a tiny bit long in the front rise but the leg length is generous even for tall riders and they’re well shaped too. We took advantage of the belt loops to tweak the fit rather than using the hook-and-loop waist adjusters because they create a small pleat (yes we’re fussy). The zipped vents on the thighs could be longer but overall these are good looking, well specified shorts. Although the pad in the liner is pretty simple, the fabric is a breathable mesh and it feels far from basic.
