Hucking urban obstacles, scything through traffic or doing the post-race lounging thing. These hardwearing Hi-Impact Plus shorts are as comfortable and good looking on the bike as off. When combat calls, just add the Underdogs mesh liner and stir to create instant hi-performance baggies.

What's the difference between the Supertankers and Juggernauts and Double Happys?
>
All are loose fitting shorts made from tough Hi-Impact nylon fabric, densely woven to take the knocks. Hi-Impact Plus is gruntier than the standard brew with a cotton handle and finish.
>
The Supertankers are constructed entirely from Hi-Impact Plus, while the Juggernauts and Double Happys are constructed with the standard brew.
>
The Double Happys have an integrated liner and moulded pad - call up a pair of Underdogs to wear under your Juggernauts to get them up to speed.
>
The finish on the Supertankers and Juggernauts has a distinctly urban edge. A smooth fitted waist, open hand pockets and a zipped rear security pocket. The Juggernauts are cooler and lighter than the Supertankers, with leg vents and mesh backed hand pockets, for enhanced performance at the edge.
>
The Supertankers and Juggernauts are long suckers - hanging around your knees, and the Double Happys 2-3cm shorter.
Washing Instructions?
>
All Ground Effect clothing enjoys a warm machine wash. Try to avoid cold-water detergents and those with bleach. The cold-water varieties have little enzymes that are super-charged to brave the cold but can damage technical fabrics and cause skin irritation. And bleach rots natural fibres like cotton, strips the dye and can also cause irritation. As a rule of thumb, product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Plant based soaps like 'Ecover' or specific sport wash formula are recommended.
>
Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
>
Drying on the line or hanging on the bedpost is generally preferable to using a dryer. Most Ground Effect gear dries super-fast anyway. High heat can damage some fabrics so if you must take your threads for a spin set the device on 'medium' or 'warm' rather than hot.
