I loved my Endura Singletrack II shorts with the multitude of pockets (especially those at the back - big enough to hold a dog lead).

However my last two pairs are coming to an end. RIP!

Anyone got any recommendations for replacements? I keep looking but nothing compares.

Do you need the masses of pockets?

I personally now do not like my Singletrack or ST2 shorts as the pockets get in the way of riding - and the ST2's are built from cheese sewn together with dog hair....

7Mesh Glidepath are the shorts to have if love pockets! The fact they're built like a brick outhouse yet are nice, lightweight, breathable and have impeccable fit is the icing on the cake! They're ace, have practically lived in mine for the last 2 years when its not raining on a ride. Good review of them over on NSMB:

Recently had Endura Humvee 2 bought for me I have never had any interest previously they seem to be well made and good value (includes click fast padded shorts). I have not had the chance to wear yet but they seem so functional with lots of pockets and vents.

Main requirements for pockets is to stash a dog lead for impromptu leashing when riding near roads or livestock.

I've been using Troy Lee Skylines for years. I've tried Fox, Altura, Alpinestars and each time is back the TLD ones, they're simple and plain black with pockets deep enough for phone and a few other bits.

Humvess for me, good pockets and 'map pockets' that no one ever puts maps in. Ideal for a dog lead or something though.

Probably not the answer you are looking for but my Springer has this collar with the lead built in. Perfect for rides with the dog. https://www.kit4dogs.co.uk/collections/leads/products/raddog-release-n-run
