Heel Drop Posted November 22, 2015 Share I am considering buying some baggy's as I think they will be cool to ride with, but what are the pro's and con's of these pants - is it worth the money and are they practical ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit031 Posted November 22, 2015 Share No cons and yes they are worth the money and yes they are practical,this is my opinion. Pieterlab1, Heel Drop, Chro Mo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted November 22, 2015 Share Never ridden in anything else to be honest. Big pro is that they stop snag and ripping up your bibs when you crash. Doubt they are the 'new cool', just market depts have latched on to it (again) and a couple of xc / marathon pro's have been sporting them. DH and trail have had them as std issue for years. raptor-22, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Eddy Gordo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques@ACT Posted November 22, 2015 Share I think it should be compulsory, especially for those who ride with white kit.......some things are best not seen!! ☺☺ Eddy Gordo, Heel Drop and Pieterlab1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porqui Posted November 22, 2015 Share Cool as in *C or cool as in fashion? Baggies are not *C cooler than lycrasLycras are a mtb fashion no-no. Baggies can be uncomfortableThey hook on the saddle just at the wrong time. Fall with a pair of lycras and you will know all about it and you will be replacing them and some flesh. Cycle in what you want. I have cycled(mtb) in lycras with a cut off pair of denim jeans over them and found that to be the most comfortable - but fashion dictates. My son cycles on the road in baggies. Baggies or lycras in white is a far bigger issue - seriously!

Orbit Posted November 22, 2015 Share Think it's preference. For long rides I still prefer bibs because my baggies 'rub' over my knee which I don't like. Definitely wouldn't wear baggies every ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted November 22, 2015 Share You need the right baggies. Those cheap ones are nasty. Rode the Paarl mtb race today with my baggies, and my trail bike. Those okes on hardtail 29ers and lycra were *** jealous of me. . But seriously, mine are Spez baggies with a built in bib. Super comfy.

T-Bob Posted November 22, 2015 Share Intrepid apparel mission shorts. Best baggies about... But if I were dirt roading a 125km fire trail / keep track ride I'd Lyra up roadie style. Full white shorts and white sleeveless top. Suns out, guns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Rode the DC in baggies yesterday... For various reasons, i can't ride without them! They definitely uncool in a road race, this was evident by some of the comments along the beautiful 202km route in swellendam HenryS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
