After 9 months of solid use my Altura 3/4 semi-dry shorts have split down the seam and ripped down the side.
What has everyone else been wearing, I am looking for:
A reasonable price
3/4 or long ish shorts
Maybe semi-dry material
Cheers everyone
Make sure they have belt loops or more than one press stud.
I use Altura or Endura, both seem good.
I buy all my riding gear from Decathlon.
Supertastic bargain sports store.

I've had 2 pairs of Endura MT500 Spray shorts - the first pair split at the crotch seam and the waterproof material delaminated on the bum after about a dozen rides.
On the 2nd pair the waterproof material in the seat area has worn through on the inner waterproof layer (the outer is fine) so they leak really badly. Also the top panel at the rear doesn't seem to be a waterproof material so it leaks there too (the 1st pair had a shell fabric at the top but didn't have the seams taped so also leaked.)
Good idea executed very poorly.
