nox1111 Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 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.
JK7 Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Indola gets my vote.Got two pairs. Both serve me well arendoog, BSG, LBKloppers and 2 others 5

Dexter-morgan Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I fully agree with your first 2 choices and in that order, I got my son's indola (size 28) from SMW for R300 at a Yellow tag sale. Edited June 28, 2019 by Dexter-morgan
MORNE Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 i have some Indola ones and some maXed. i like the fit of the indola better but i use both. I didnt like the inner in the Indola though but luckily it is easy to remove...so i just wear them over my usual bib.
JohanC Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 My favourite baggies to date: Westpeak. They are fitted (as I'm a shorter rider) and colour still perfect after a year's usage - compared to my ION baggies. Local guys, and very affordable. Only downside for the OP, you need to use a bib underneath. Suits me perfect as I use my older/faded/favourite bibs with this baggie. Westpeak, Danger Dassie and babse 3
nox1111 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Posted June 28, 2019 I have no issues with Maxed if they look/work lekke.Padded etc?
MORNE Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) snip Only downside for the OP, you need to use a bib underneath. Suits me perfect as I use my older/faded/favourite bibs with this baggie. same for me. i actually prefer the feel of the bib being "disconnected" from the baggy....if that makes sense. i dont know..it just feels less limiting to me. can be all in my head too ofcourse lol Edited June 28, 2019 by morneS555 Westpeak and JohanC 2
slickjay007 Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Cape Storm aren't bad either https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/capestorm-mens-mtb-radical-short My first choice would always be the Fox range. Dexter-morgan 1

Ashchest Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Indola makes 2 types, correct? What are the differences?
ACM Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Indola makes 2 types, correct? What are the differences?The one has proper padding; the other very ‘basic padding’. I have both. The problem with the basic padding is the it is covered with a material that losens over time and rimple which then causes potential problem for your @ss :-)I would rather spend the extra money and get the propper padding.

greg_sa Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I love the fox ranger cargo (12"). They are an older model, so I searched online to find the exact same recently to replace.
