“Just received and did my first ride in these shorts and can honestly say they are the best riding shorts Iäó»ve ever had! Iäó»m not that big but having the stretchy panel helps keep the shorts in place way better than any of my previous shorts! Got a few friendly snickers about the tummy panel but all decided they were a great option.”
“Even though these are designed for lads, they were a great fit for me too. They were comfortable and I liked the pocket as well. I wonäó»t be looking for a ladies version.”
“Being a larger lad (130kg and 195cm) Iäó»ve always struggled with so called XL sizing we find in the Fox etc range.
First fit these were just amazing and Iäó»m so tempted to buy another pair soon.
Double bonus shipping to Australia was fast too”
“I really debated quite a long time before buying these shorts as they are quite an expensive item. Nonetheless I went ahead and ordered them. The first pair came with a small tear in the stitching which I sent back for a replacement - disappointingly this was at my cost !!. But at least they were replaced quickly. I then wore the shorts on 2 rides and found them to be scratchy against the skin behind my knee. I think this is caused by the stitching on the hem which is of quite a coarse grade.
On the positive side, they are really comfortable to wear and were it not for the scratchy material I would be giving this product a much higher mark. I did consider returning them again, but at Œ£7.50 a time this is a ludicrous option, so Iäó»m stuck with them.
So, overall äó_ sorry FLAB team, I was honestly hoping for a better outcome :-(”
“Shorts not delivered on time and all you did was blame the courier and quote your täó»s and cäó»s
Not what I expected from a company that says itäó»s customer focused.”
“I brought these for on the bike and in the gym, they also now get used in the pool for aqua aerobics (lack of seams is much better than swimming shorts in terms of chaffing). The biggest revelation has been using them when canoeing, the high waist means no exposed crack and also lots of overlap with a tee-shirt meaning no exposed belly when they are under a drysuit, absolute result.
If only FLAB started doing oversized drysuits and thermal underlayers for the larger gentleman”
“Got them a couple of weeks ago, and they are the comfiest MTB shorts Iäó»ve tried.
Best thing is they stay up! That grippy stretchy waist band works perfectly, the the pocket is big enough for a phone, garage door key and a pair of reading specs (Iäó»m 50).
Fairly pricey, but really well designed. I did expect them to arrive with a padded undershort, but thatäó»s only because all other shorts do. I wasnäó»t misled.
Will definitely buy a second pair.”
