Which 3/4 length lycra running shorts?

[Jonny69]

I've been out buying lycra today

Actually, I found something ideal. I was looking for some lycra shorts or thermals to cover my thighs under my normal shorts for cycling and found North Face Lightning Capri 3/4 length shorts. They are perfect because they are the right length to go under my shorts and also cover my knees; but the downside? £40

I didn't see anything else like them in any of the other shops. Does anyone else make them like that? Or is £40 just the going rate? I only say it because I picked up some full length Karrimors reduced to £10.99. I don't want padded cycling shorts because most of my commute is not on the bike, but 3/4 length is more useful to me than full length.

Are you anywhere near a Decathlon? They have a good selection of running gear at decent prices.

The closest one is Surrey Quays unfortunately, which is miles away

Get some knee warmers. Then you can take them off when it gets warm.

Sports Direct would probably have something.

Worth a trip though, get a whole bunch of kit for not a lot of money. I always get something from the Decathlon in Nantes when we go to France.
