Gore: Bike & More Shorts

I have owned these baggy shorts for 3 years and worn them on many rides in both summer and winter. The outer short is a very thin but hard wearing material that drys very quickly and has stood up very well to crashes and brambles (no holes or clicks yet). They have two standard trouser pockets, a velcro flap pocket on the outside of each leg (the right pocket is mesh) and a zip sealed safe pocket under the wasitband at the back. They have a lose elastic waistband and a pull cord to fasten them. These are all the features I need from outer shorts. The inner short is 'cool max' type of fabric with a plain velcroed pad, it is attached at the wasitband and cannot be removed from the outers. The pad is relatively comfortable for a couple of hours but anything more results in chaffing that is noticable when the shorts are taken off. The best feature for me is the length and wasit-fit. The leg length is very short by todays standards and reaches approximately 1/3 down my thigh, no flapping fabric. The wasitband is of soft elastic with a pull-cord and is an excellent design, the shorts can be adjusted to fit me no matter how much my 'size' has fluctuated. If anything happened to them I would replace them with the same immediatly.
