A set of baggy shorts used to mark the difference between a casual rider

and a serious one. But as the quality of materials, and the cut, have

improved over the past decade or more, you are hard pressed to find a

mountain biker who will still ride exclusively in lycra shorts. Even the

most XCO race focused rider will have some baggy shorts for fun days

and wet days.

Not all shorts are created equal, with some being super light, others

heavy duty, long legs, shorter legs, lots of pockets, no pockets... so we

took a look at some of the popular models on the Australian market, and

got our feedback down all in one place for you.
