Previously used standard lyrca jobbies which, over long rides, bunched up into a lovely codpiece but did nothing for my rear. These, teamed up with Underdogs, have been excellent. No issues with catching on the seat, everything stays put, and my look doesn't upset the rest of the family.
fabulous shorts - very comfortable - such that they have also become my favourite tennis shorts as well. Main problem is getting a chance to get them through the wash from cycling and tennis - so have just ordered a second pair. Comfortable, good long legs for protection from the Queensland sun.
i bought some original ST way back when and they certain have kept the quality and standards high. I would recommend them to anyone. P.s where is the tube patch?

If you are looking for trousers that: 1. Are long enough to keep the thighs from freezing on the commute into work on frosty mornings; 2. Won't have the person behind you checking out your builder's crack; and 3. Give you room to spin to your hearts content. Then the supertankers are for you. Construction quality is great, I'm not expecting them to die out anytime soon. Only gave them 4-stars because they're not exactly the most sexy pants I've every worn, but the practical and comfort factor wins out everytime!
I'm choosing gear for an expedition from the Netherlands to China, looking for clothes that are comfortable and extremely durable, which is what led me to these shorts (the longer Ranchsliders came highly recommended as being the type of trousers you want to be wearing during a zombie apocalypse). I'm 1.80m, athletic build, and went with size M. I've never worn shorts like these before and was surprised that I had to stretch them quite a bit in order to close the dome. This was normal I was told, because it keeps them in place while riding. On a short ride of 2 hours they did feel good, and the build quality is absolutely top notch; I do believe these would last a very long time! Unfortunately, when I tested them during a weekend trip to Lisbon - off-bike but lots of walking - they started to become uncomfortable around the waist. I definitely can't have this during my trip to China! I'm still going to buy the Ranchsliders, but this time I will go for a size L and when I start to starve myself on the road I will just use a belt! - Daniel
