Baggy Shorts recommendations?

.ak

Looking to invest in a pair of baggy shorts for casual use and mountain biking. Anyone else have any recommendations or use them?

Saw a pair of Endura ones but not sure of the quality... Main thing I want them for is because it's starting to get pretty warm in the summer and you never know if it's going to rain either so want something loose and possibly water proof for offroad stuff.

I've been using the same pair of Endura for over two years now. Button was a bit dodgy when my stonach was bigger but they're great now. Not bad in rain and dry quickly.

+1on the endura. I use hummvees for commute. Great quality, nice fit.

Been using a pair of those for enduro racing and dh training for the last year and a half, titec logo ripped off the back in a crash but have stood up to my ham fisted crashes and spills with no other damage. Well well worth the money.

On my 2nd pair of enduras for commuting - can't fault them. Great quality and well built.

Sweet. Enduras it is so. Anywhere in town (Dublin) that sells them, so I can try them on? Hate buying clothes online.

I wear Altura Summit baggies and like them a lot but Endura's stuff is great too!

According to t'interweb:

Have seen their stuff in afew bike shops around Dublin - can't remember which ones specifically.

I'm on my second pair of endura humvees; great shorts

I got a pair of Craft shorts in Halfords for €20 last week and they've been great so far for both commuting and MTBing. There's no padding mind, and I've been wearing bibs underneath, but for the money they seem really good.

I bought an Endura winter jkt from the Giant store on Long Mile Rd (D12), maybe give them a call to see if they have the shorts in. They had lots of Endura gear (which isn't listed on the website).

Some of the Endura ones come with separate padded boxers that can be buttoned in. They are a bit expensive to buy additional ones

For commuting I just throw on a pair of cheap bibs under the baggys - works a dream
