[Evo-R]

Hi

 

Are all makes of cycling shorts the same lenght or not??

 

I have Cape storm shorts which i use but seening as i have short legs they come just above my knee's and there is nothing worse than having golden brown calfs and everything above the knee is white!

Have you tried golden brown calfs and only half yor quads being golden brown, the rest being a pasty white.?

Cape Storms I think are a good length, but if you're looking for shorter dodgey looking pants/bibs go for First Ascent - catch however is they are junk. The padding is focused on your package, bargain if you prone to fly over the handle bars striking the top of the steerer on your way past! But if you're looking for padding that specialises on your sit bones, don't go First Ascent. The other thing First Ascents padding at the back sticks out making it look like you have made a deposit in your pants. Cape Storms are brilliant value for money, same price as First Ascent but they work. So in "short" be careful that you don't make your body pay for the cosmetic affect you are looking for.

 

I have seen short Cape Storms by the way, just not sure if they are only for ladies.

ha ha ha classic..... When you find the solution let me know. To much sun bed is bad and you never get the two tone out completely.

 

Summers comming get yourself a banana hamock (speedo not to be worn in public please) and spend your afternoons recovering from a good ride around the pool.

Are bibs in general shorter than shorts??

[Daxiet]

No, not to my knowledge. Just prefer them to shorts.

[tabasco]

bibs are way more comfortable
