Tight or loose? Take a look at the DHB stuff at Wiggle. Good value. I prefer Bib's but it's all just personal.

doesnt matter if its tight or loose.

DHB stuff ?

Most the stuff I wear, I get from Aldi on their specials. OK it's not branded, but it's brilliant stuff in the main and cheap as chips.

Very good value stuff that Wiggle import and, I think are the only UK sellers of.

Endura Zyme 3/4 length with padded liner. Uber comfort.

Assos is supposed to be the best cycling gear.

£30 for some Assos shorts? I'll take some with your £500 ultegra equipped Racer!

Dont get the £14 Nalani bib shorts from Probikekit. Not the best buy ive made.
Look in your local bike shop, see if they have any on offer. I got a nice pair of Campagnolo Team bib shorts from Briketreks for less than half price. Very comfy as well.
Some good stuff on Fleabay as well.
Sizing is the tricky bit though, one companies xl is anothers one's xxl.

Bit baggy. And why troosers? You'll overheat, only need to wear them once it becomes chilly, and even then after a few minutes you won't need them.

How do you guys stop wet patches forming on shorts after a long cycle ride ?

Go to the toilet before you set off? :confused:

What do you think this slit is for? You can just pee whilst you cycle

If your shorts and jersey aren't soaked in sweat, you're not riding hard enough.

Tight shorts makes your scrotum hot. Not good for the little swimmy chaps

If you are near a Decathlon store, check out their own brand clobber.
