Thomo Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Going through some other threads revealed Panda as being a good local option but these don?t seem to be freely available in the <?: prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Cape.Feedback from the LBS?s is that one?s current options are limited to the following @ ? R700:1. First Ascent (Evolution)2. Cape Storm (Matrix)3. BBB (Squadra)<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Any experience/opinions on these or any other options.? Thanks.

Gman1834 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Cape Storm (Matrix) Very comfortable, nice shimmy.
AndreZA Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Cape Storm Matrix for me aswell thank. T first I did not like the grey stitching, but It grows on you.
Da2lip Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 try giordano, little bit more (I think about R800) but great shorts... well worth it in my books. Give cycles direct a call (021 554 2128)
brussel Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I had the first ascent - legs to short chamois chaffed from the frist ride Cape storm are nice... I bought Giordana from Chainreaction, got a mat to bring them over, 600 each they are VERY comfortable
Thug Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Giordana, very nice but slightly more expensive that your R700. Think they go for R 880.

Last time saw LG in the Cape they were pretty pricey though ... well over R1000.I seem to battle with shorts (and shoes) - would hate to buy such an expensive dust cloth.

Sacrosanct Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I have the First Ascent Endurance also +-R700. Very comfortable...
markStockton Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I'm very happy with my Velotex bib shorts with the grey and red shammy. I think I got my last pair from Solomons for just under R 700.00.

BendeBeer Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I just bought my second pair of first ascent endurance - works well for me and I'm well over 100kg's
Marius Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I'm getting two sets of the Gore Bibbs for R700 each, have not tried them yet but hear good things:-D
