I have been melting recently in my heavy duty Endura Humvee baggy shorts and the weather hasn't even got that hot yet! Time for some lighter baggies...
I bought a pair of
these Alturas. I don't trust companies' sizing for garments like this. According to
Altura, with my 91.5 cm/36" waist I should wear L, but I usually wear XL from most brands so I stuck with that. Good job that I did - the baggies arrived today and they
just fit me. My advice - SIZE UP! And if you buy from Altura direct, sign up for their newsletter for a 10% discount on your order.
I wore the shorts for a 1 hour test ride this evening and they felt much more comfortable in the warm conditions. They come with liner shorts with a minimalist pad. On my short ride that pad felt pretty comfy but I will see what I think after a 100 km ride! (I'll report back on that afterwards.)
I would recommend that you use a belt with the shorts. The fastening stud doesn't look like it would last long if it had to keep the shorts closed and up!
