Smart-Casual Cycling Clothing to Commute?

[vickster]

The chinos were excellent - am puzzled as to why they discontinued them after such a short life. Any ideas?

Anyone used the new things?

Probably because no one bought them at full price and they weren't sustainable at £12!

What's the point in cycle specific trousers that don't have a chamois?

oh.

I have a pair of 36 inch ones I should post to sell on here. Bought to "grow/pig myself into" but now pretty confident I won't need them.

If you are doing commuting distances, then you want your arse covered, a bit of stretch, cuffs out of the chain, maybe a little bit of stealth reflective. Certainly if I wasn't planning to change, then I wouldn't want chamois - unless I was a nappy-fetishist.

Mind you, gap jeans (which have a bit stretch) work pretty well for me, just tuck the right cuff into my socks.
