Been using the waterproof ones for a while, a good fit and keeping the water out
Thanks! Needed some cheap baggies. Can't stand them on the road or gravel bikes but feel a tad self-conscious if I'm out with other MTBers and am the only one dressed like a roadie! 😂
Just ordered some as the tape on my current waterproof shorts has seen better days. These look just the ticket. Thanks!
Very weird sizing. Suggests 36" waist is medium. I thought 36" waist was pretty lardy tbh.
Hmmm, might get large, but 36-38" eek
Great price👍
What are these like when wearing knee pads?
Is there a gap or are they long enough to cover the knees?
Aye the sizing threw me off a bit.. I’m normally a large in just about everything but opted for a medium based on the size chart.. will see how that pans out when they arrive!
Ours sized up as per the size chart.
The waterproof ones are cut longer on the front to go over the pad. Assuming it not a big fat pad. I use G Form
Thanks Tracey 👍
Thanks Tracey
Ordered XL in orange.
I'm only a 34" waist but at almost 15st I never fit into large shorts so always end up in XL.
Very weird sizing. Suggests 36″ waist is medium
I've got some very old Altura waterproof shorts that I think I've worn once because they're enormous. They're a small and I'm usually a 32" waist but they literally end up round my ankles even with the velcro adjusters done up as tight as possible
Altura shorts are always bloody massive for some reason. Mine are all small but I'm medium in everything else.
Oh god, this isn't doing much for my self esteem, I ordered large having worn a 33" for the last two decades but measured 36" around the waist.
They fit perfectly 🙄
On the flip side these are the 'baggies' I've been looking for, not actually very baggy at all, stretchy but not flappy, more socially acceptable in the pub than bulging lycra 😎
👍
Mine arrived today and they’re absolutely spot on! Great quality, nice cut as per the comments above and they fit. Going to order another colour now. Thank you again for the PSA @Tracey. Bargain for 30 sheets 👌
Blimey Altura have the fastest emails I've seen.
10% additional discount code came within a second and order confirmation email significantly less than that.
You did all use the 10% off first order thing didn't you....
I can't believe I'd have to order XS for my size (typically medium 32"). besides which, XS isn't even listed as a size available 🤔.
Used the 10% off previously so registered with my works email this time. Be rude not to 😉

@jimmy medium waist waterproof ones measure 34" if that helps
Finally clicked buy, didn't actually bother with the baggies but had a cheap pair of bibs, some winter long bibs and a SS jersey all on discount plus the 10% off code means it was £57 which is pretty good value IMO.. opted for M in all three as it seemed about right on their charts.
Cheers for the PSA
Those shorts are great, but they're not even close to the bargains that some of the jackets are. There's some great waterproof stuff on there, just in time for the English summer!
...just in time for the English summer!
That's why I got some winter tights for commuting now, £25 odd rather than the £80+ish they'll be asking come autumn...
They usually have flash sales throughout the year.
.The Ride Pertex waterproof jacket was down from £150 to £45 earlier this year when you applied the extra 10% off. Its spot on for the rain we have been getting.
My parcels always come direct from Zyro
Bugger, now I'm looking at the discounted jackets I missed earlier. Nevermind maybe next time.
Got two sets of shorts and some liners for £90. Arrived next day and they’re fantastic. Bjargain! Thanks @tracey
Top PSA ta, XL fits ok 36 waist. Cheaper than decathlon, good quality
Thanks, this worked out really well! I’m a bit more aerodynamic than I was a few years ago so all my shorts were too big - was needing some new ones in a medium but the Altura ones in a small are a great fit. Two pairs of baggies, another of waterproof baggies and three base layers (medium a very neat fit) for just over £100!
