Urban Cycling Apparel The Single Tracker - Mountain Bike MTB Baggy Shorts with Zip Pockets, Bundle with underliner

Meh. Cue buyer's remorse with these biker shorts. If I didn't sweat in them already, they'd be on their way back to Amazon. :(• First of all, like the other shorts that I bought from Urban Cycling Apparel, they fit SMALLER than advertised. I fit into a size 36 comfortably, and went with the XL a bit nervous that they'd be too loose (with a fitting range of 36-38 size waist). Nope, they were a snug fit and didn't give much wiggle room either.• Second, I didn't care for the material — both the padded undershorts and the actual shorts themselves. The removable padded lining was more reminiscent of cheap fitness wear and the outer shorts gave me flashbacks of parachute pants from the 80s...but as shorts. PLUS, the pictures on Amazon showed a matte finish on the fabric, but it was definitely NOT a matte finish. They were down-right shiny. Also, while the outer layer seemed durable, the inner layer didn't seem like it'd last me that long with a whole season of commuting. The fabric on the lining was thin (to a fault) and seemed like an inadequate attempt to create a lining between the shorts and your skin.• Third, the pockets were awkward and didn't feel useful to me, largely because of the snug fit. I would have preferred a much looser fit cargo style short. I don't think I'd want to keep anything in the pockets simply because the shorts were so tight-fitting.• Lastly the padding isn't that great, in fact it's really flimsy. When stacked up against all my other biker shorts (name-brand biking shorts that I paid between $50-100 for), the padding was extremely squishy and didn't supply much support or padding for the goods. If you ask me, you're much better off paying the extra $25-50 for some shorts that will give you adequate support and protection for those longer rides.Like I said in my other review, I really hate posting bad reviews on products — but the minute I pulled them out of the plastic bags and even tried them on, I was filled with buyer's remorse. You may like these, but they were a strike-out for me. They weren't "loose-fit", the material and construction didn't feel like it would last very long, and they just screamed parachute pant-shorts.

I've ridden with these shorts about 4 times now and they are my go to shorts (sorry Fox you stuff is too fragile). The highlights for me was finding a pair of shorts with a belt loop; I like having a belt on riding shorts so my ass isn't hanging out all the time (you know who you are). They also have plenty of pockets (with zippers) to keep your stuff secure. The 2 front pockets are ultra deep which mean nothing's slipping out. There are two velcro straps on the legs if you need to cinch them down for some reason (I haven't found a reason yet). I bought the option with the included liner... It's good enough for my purposes (12-15 mile mountain bike rides). I'm planning on getting a second pair.

First of all these shorts are well made. Heavy duty seat should last a long time. Liner seems nice also. All good until you try them on. BUT.....there's always a but....they are soooo long. Stupidly long. Like hanging way below my knees. I even considered getting them hemmed. But it would be like at least 3 inches of material hemmed to get these to the correct length where they would hit my knees. So other than a weird fit they are not bad! I returned them.

These are sweet. Comfortable, great pocket options, and durable (kissed the dirt a few times with these on with no tears). The length of the legs is perfect for where I ride as there is a ton of poison oak lining the trails. The padded insert works well and if your booty hurts it is because you don't ride enough to acclimate your sit bone and it won't matter what padding you use (everyone goes through this when they sart riding). They don't hook my seat when I tossing the bike around and slide off the saddle easily when it is time to shred. The belt loops is a great addition as my more expensive shorts don't have belt loops and over time those get a bit breezy on the backside. With these and sport belt, Iam flashing no one. These are my go-to shorts.

First off, the underwear part of this does not look anything like the pictures. It is basically a netting like the inside of a pair of swim trunks, and the padding feels like the material from a cheap Halloween outfit. The shorts are alright, they fit a little bit snug compared to the chart. I wear a 38" in most shorts and pants and the chart says the 2XL should fit up to a 41" waist... I cannot imagine wearing these if I were any bigger than a 38".

Pretty comfortable but dont hold up long. I have put less than 50 miles on these shorts and seams have started pulling apart pretty disappointed

The are some nice shorts with what looks to be good sturdy materials and construction. I just got them and wore them on my first ride. The fit was a little smaller than I expected. I wear a 38 and gotmthe 2XL, the elastic band felt like it was almost maxed going around my waste. The sizing says they are good for 38-41. The second issue is loving in Texas with the heat these do not breath very well. Once I got back from my ride and removed them the rush of cool air to my nether regions was quite nice. With my other riding shorts this is not an issue in the heat. The lack of breathability is why I gave them 3nstars.

For the price, the quality of these shorts feel rather weak. You wouldn’t probably want to risk putting anything in pockets of value for fear of loss. Shorts themselves are not rugged mountain biking strength. These are better for novice road biking, without storing anything in pockets. These are cheap department store quality. Zippers on pockets will probably break soon, and I worry something like keys might rip inner pocket linings. The size & layout of pockets though are extremely well designed..... the lack of strength is the weakness of these shorts.*** If you decide to get these, I recommend one size larger unless your really thin.*** UPDATE- Both pairs of these have ripped so far on the side just below waistline 08/21/2019.
