Hey guys, I've now officially worn my Fox Ranger and my el-cheapo baggies from the UK to bits and keen to get a nice new pair. I want a padded liner with the shorts - I'm not keen for a bib under a baggy or boardshorts. Any pointers of what to look for, where to look? Ideally not imports and I've destroyed google without satisfying results. Not keen on orange, neon yellow or even bright blues. Prefer grey, black or navy - or at least darker colours. I've already looked at: Fox Ranger new version - so far on topIndola enduro shorts - two zipper pockets at odd placesFirst Ascent Trail baggies - pretty good actually, but Med too small and large way too big.
I'm looking for recommendations for brands and models of baggies for trail/enduro style riding? Ideally without or with a removable a liner/chamois and below R1k, is this feasible in today's market for a decent quality pair of baggies with prices having skyrocketed recently? Lastly if you know off hand, where in Cape Town stocks the brand you recommend as I'd ideally like to try on a pair for fit before purchasing them? I searched the forum and the results are all from 2+ years ago, at that stage Indola, Westpeak, Endura and Fox seemed to be the most recommended brands, but most of the common sizes (M/L and 34/36) of the first two aforementioned brands seem to be out of stock online and the latter are all priced at R1500+!
Baggies are all the rage these days, didn't you know? Actually, uh, no I didn't. These days? I've been wearing shorts, jeans – anything over and above underpants, really – for as long as I've been on two wheels. Lycra? No, never, not even once. When Fox sent over this pair of shorts, I was pretty surprised and a bit uneasy when I saw the detachable inner lining with chamois padding. Do these make me look like I'm wearing a nappy?
