MTB Baggies online

[TAAHIRWP]

i've been searching for Fox DEMO kit... anyone? or ONE INDUSTRIES GHAMMA?

Hey Martin, What do you make of the Dakine syncline(your latter) is it worth the R1400, i tried a pair on and noticed the liner is not removable. Also it does not have the rear yoke.

 

Are they still worth it?

 

Hi Taahir, are you sure the liner isn't removable? Mine has these little loops which you simply unclip to remove it. I actually rode Sunday's enduro with a 661 Bomber short underneath instead of the accompanying liner. Not sure what you mean by the yoke, my pair has a large stretch panel at the rear below the waist.

 

Overall, they're very comfortable and worth the money. I love the zippable vents at the front, the quality and feel of the fabric (the crash I mentioned left no marks) and the liner itself is particularly good on its own. The only complaint I have is about length, they could be slightly longer to properly fit over pads, like the Fox Rangers or most of TLD's stuff.

Cyclefunatics in Durbanville has stock of the fox rangers. Don't have their number but it should be easy to find. Give Justin a holla and see if you can't get a small discount. Still under the 1k mark as opposed to other brands, and they black.

okay i mustve been wrong about the stretch panel at the rear, the one i tried on at Revolution cycles looked something like this http://www.surfdome.com/dakine_shorts_-_dakine_syncline_shorts_-_blue-125145

 

sorry i couldnt upload the images here, struggled to save them.

Yep, those are the ones I have (but in black), the stretch panel shown via arrow below.

 

If you can find them in blue, they would go amazingly with your bike (you ride the blue Meta AM, right?)

I recently found a bargain on these kits

 

(R250 for shorts and shirt... INSANE)

I'll see what the shorts are like when they arrive.

 

But otherwise I have a number of pairs of these that I stick to

TLD Sprint

 

Both have that tough polyester for those times you slide in stead of ride. The Sprint feel less bulky and more ventilated, but unfortunately they onlyhave that one little back pocket above (back, centre) which has resulted in a swim for my phone.

Tsk tsk, your phone should be in your saddlebag...

 

TLD stuff is very, very nice.

My take is that baggies are a fashion thing. You either like it or you dislike it. I have not heard of a compelling argument for or against it. By the way I have both and sometimes just enjoy riding with baggies when I feel like a slow relaxing ride. But baggies over bib shorts ? That extra thin layer of cloth over bib shorts is not going to make any difference when you wipe out.If you want baggies , get a decent pair as suggested herein above..

 

It makes a massive difference. I have a few pairs of Endura baggies, and they have saved me my Giordana bibs on quite a few occasions.

 

The good quality baggy shorts are a lot tougher than you might think, and they can withstand a lot of abrasion.

I wear baggies over my bibs, because the shorts slip down at the back - my riding buddies don't want to see my crack!

screw the bib: them baggies saved my skin! Flip, nothing worse than hauling ass,bailing for whatever reason, and getting up to find you've left half the skin on your ass in the dirt. PITA party of note

 

Love the TLD kit, but the lack of storage is an annoyance. Most times, i'd prefer not taking a backpack, so some local storage would be ideal. TLD is not the goto choice here. Been eyeballing the latest stuff from an old fave of mine:Alpinestars. Lurvly!, but the price? oi.
