I had to bin my ancient 3/4 length shorts last year.

Looking for new ones and there isn't much choice. Other than endura, do people still make them?

Mine were zymes and I'm looking for something similar for commuting.

Synthetic, low bulk, minimalist, no loud colours or designs around £50 max.

Was gutted when I wore a big hole in the arse of my 3/4 Zymes.

Humvee 3/4 are comfortable, although the sizing & fit changed on the latest version. I killed a pair of those in less than 6 months so moved on to these

More lightweight than Zymes & Humvees but holding up well so far.

Be short like me, then everything is either 3/4 length or 5/4 length.

I'm long legged which is part of the reason I want 3/4.

They needn't be cycling specific but back when I'm commuting 5 days a week they need to be tough enough to to last.

I've been unimpressed by more recent endura purchases which is why I didn't go for them.

Madison. Note, I'm 5ft 10m, and my Medium Madison 'shorts' are what pretty much whay I would call a 3/4 length anyway. Cover my knees at least!

I've some Endura MT500 Spray 3/4 baggies and they're great.

Find some suitable full-length trousers and apply scissors + sewing machine? It's certainly what I expect to have to do when my Zymes wear out if they're no longer available.
