Cheaper alternative to Fox Ranger shorts?

[Sarel See Monster]

Oh wait...sportsman's warehouse might have. I should learn to slow down and absorb the details.

 

This might not be for everyone, but it is worth considering.

 

 

I recently started wearing MR PRICE padded cycling shorts (queue ridicule and doubt in this post) paired with Columbia outdoor shorts (basically like boardies).

Pros:

 

 

- Super comfortable

 

- Durable, i.e, not precious, no graphics, zipps or white colours and any frilly bits that get screwed up after riding and washing (My Indola Enduro shorts started fading and tearing after 4 months of riding).

 

- Worked out to be R650. New stock One Industries, Dakine and Fox can go over to be like R1200 per short. I went and bought another set after I was blown away at how well the odd-combo worked (2 x sets of MTB shorts for R1300)

 

 

Cons:

 

 

They're not One Industries, Dakine or Fox but no one will notice. See attached pic.

 

 

Hope this potentially helps.

I am not too brand conscious and will definitely go take a look. I want practical in most cases and will definitely shell out a bit more on shorts if that is what is needed and I am fully back into cycling again. This might be a good route to start with. Who knows...might be all I need at the end of the day.
