  • Anyone got the commuter shorts? Want to be sure they have a flat panel under the gooch rather than a cross-seam. They’re about the most affordable decent unpadded shorts going.

  • Theres a seam running north to south.
    27km today was pretty comfortable, but they aren't as good as the Patagonia.
    Pockets are annoying. Why only 1 zipped!

  • Excellent thank you.

  • Which Patagonia model are you referring to? I could do with adding another pair of shorts so my Swrve don't die too quickly

  • There is also a seam running east to west under the legs, and where they cross over the compass points mine have what i'd call a 'bobble'. Which is fine when worn over a liner, but noticable when worn over plain ol'boxers. I've worn them on rides up to 150km'ish and they were pretty comfy.

    Yeah the one zipped pocket is weird. Also no zip for a wazz is odd. But I do like the closing magnetic method.

    Nobody asked, but I'd give them a 8/10. Probably the only piece of Rapha kit other than a waterproof jacket I have of theirs that is worth the salt. edit - That I've tried.

    If you can find a pair, the Howies Wonster Short is hands down the best 'stylish baggy not baggy' short i've owned, and I've ridden a lot of miles in 'stylish baggy not baggy' shorts.
