Looking for some replacements for my Hummvees, would like something a bit more 'fitted' preferably with zip pockets and will take a bit of stick. Trying to get away from the all black look although I'm not cool enough for any rad colours.

Just tried some of the new TLD Ace shorts and tbh they weren't that ace. Not that keen on the Singletrack shorts either.

Any other suggestions?

[url= http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/products/SHO ]Ground Effect[/url] have 2 or 3 colour options on their shorts that aren't garish.

Generally quite rugged, some more fitted options (i.e. the ones they describe as Performance rather than Baggy).

Madison Addict - waterproof panel, come in dust colour, offset with red zips. Worth a look, should be £50 - £60..

Still black but I really like the look of the shorts Mani Fumic was wearing at the worlds. Anyone know what they were?

Cheers timb34, they're reasonable too. Hmmm.

Might have to get a new bike too though, gutted.

Thanks everyone, like the look of the Ground Effect shorts but it looks like they are only in NZ though?

Haha! Bargain.

Really like the look of the Groundeffect Juggernauts, seem well thought out and work out at £63 delivered (£10 off your first order).

Might give them a go.

[url= http://kilpisport.com/products/men/p-graham-ii ]Kilpi Graham shorts [/url] are really nice, i recently bought a pair from sport pursuit and they are now my firm favourites, light and stretchy material and close fitting, quite smart looking and a plethora of zipped pockets - very comfortable but perhaps a bit too thin for winter use.

I'm going to order a pair of the new version as shown in the link - best shorts i've had yet.

Cheers, quite liking the look of the Addicts now though.

What would be the 'in' choice of colour for a colourblind dad of three? Green, brown or it doesn't really matter?
