    Recommendations? I may come off as lazy but I can’t really find any shorts that look good and have the length that is needed as I HATE having the shorts ride up on my leg. I feel like a roadie when that happens and I hate the feeling. Please leave a pair of shorts you recommend in the comments. Also I don’t need a pair of padded undershorts.

    Who has ever reproofed their shorts? This doesn’t happen.

    I have bought Zoic ether and black market shorts which is good quality and reasonable priced. I also was looking at tactical shorts like Helikon UTL and 511 shorts which starts at $44 up. They are water resistant, durable material, light and some have low profile pockets that are not bulky like a cargo pants, not too baggy like a walking shorts. You can find them on ebay and amazon.

    I have some Columbia shorts that I brought very cheap in a outlet, not made for MTB but works greats, no sweating problems at all, and it feels and looks very well made.

    Is there any reason why I can’t where my road bib shorts then my favourite baggies over the top ?

    Why no word on waist-to-crotch length? Do they ever get in the way of your seat? How to stop it, what to search for in that department?

    I wish I could wear baggy shorts. My legs are too big so the shorts bind around my legs and make it hard to move.

    100% agree on removing things from your pockets before riding.  I love having pockets in my baggies, but always ride with them empty.  I can shove anything I need to carry into my hydration pack.

    none of these work in a hot climate. these are all medium to cold climate goods. try wearing all those layers in florida and you will stroke out or quit fast.
    all these people here still wear lycra because riding time is limited to 2 hours. beyond that is health dangers. jd park has a shower at the trail head. people get off the trail and stand under it due to the extreme humidity. poor bastards.
    durring the summer you only ride from 8 to 9 am. thats it.
