I have used Endura clothing for many years now and on a whole it performs very well and lasts along time. My current Scott bishorts have gone baggy over the years and my cheap Planet X ones are uncomfortable after a few hours in the saddle so it was time to invest into a new pair. As im mainly doing offroad riding these days i went down this route instead of roadie shorts. These shorts rrp is £80 which is a fair chuck of wonga and i have never spent this amount on bibshorts before so was expecting something above and beyond the normal. When they arrived (next day from Westbrook Cycles) I was not dissapointed. The fit is on the small side and had to go up one size to my normal Endura leggings/shorts, not sure why. I have used them for approx 10 weeks now and can report they are very comfortable even on longer rides. There are a couple of negative points - labels which are sewn into the middle of the back one goes one way and another goes the opposite direction on top, they are annoying and you have to stretch around and straighten them out. The other negative is when you have to go for a quick jimmy, the waist band is very high and no zip so its some what of a struggle, apart from that i would defo recommend them. Angus ended up with my original pair (which were too small) - soft shell option rrp £90 which has a different panel to rear above the pad line, apart from that they look identical.
