Hey all, keep seeing the ads for black line clothing pop up and need a new set of trousers and these aren’t to badly priced at £60, anyone have any real world reviews or any budget recommendations for me please?
Just bumping this as hoped someone had tried them?
Just wondered if anyone had bought or tried a pair of these yet?
Nope I still not seen or heard anything about them yet
Link? If they're the ones I think, the same as the old nukeproof, they're very decent IMO.

they’re slightly different by the looks of it. I’ve got a pair of the NP trousers, but I’ve lost weight this year and they’re too big now (boo hoo me😉)
Yet another trouser option for short people. ARGH. 31" inseam on the large size.
I've had a pair for about 6 months now. For the money, I think they're pretty amazing. 2 zip pockets, slight stretch ankle cuff, fit is quite adjustable with velcro both sides and a solid buckle. For reference, I'm wearing a 34" pair and am 6'3" with long legs (normally find all trousers too short, unless XL legs), but these are fine for fit. Waist and hip 'volume' could be a little slimmer, but only a smidge for me.
Good to hear as I’m probably a large 34” with pretty big legs

Hey there 🫡
We certainly wouldn’t say these are only an option for short people - quite the opposite. They’re longer than industry average following some extensive market research showing leg length as a pain point for a lot of riders.
In fact, we usually recommend riders below 5’6 to go for the women’s version as they’re 2 inches shorter with only subtle changes throughout.
If you want any further info just let us know - happy to help 😎
FWIW I'm using a pair of their new shorts (production ones and the pre-production ones) and they're brilliant. Easily the best shorts I've used. Great fit and decent, deep zip pockets.
Might get a pair of the trousers too for the autumn in case my Nukeproof ones haven't been through the wash 😀
We have some on review at the mo. They need a good season put through them before we publish any findings though. Soz.
How much adjustment is there in the waist? I’ve got fairly big quads (and arse) but have lost a significant amount of weight off the belly and now I’m having to add belt loops to all my existing trousers and shorts to keep them up because most companies seem to think all you need is the ratchet or an inch of velcro strapto adjust them.

Hey Zero Cool,
We don’t want to high jack the post, but in answer to your question there’s a tonne of adjustment at the waist - you’re probably talking 2-3 inches worth of adjustment with the side straps 🙂
Ta for the info
