They're just cotton shorts. I wouldn't expect them to last any longer

The Randonee shorts are nylon with a bit of spandex, not cotton. I have one black pair that have lasted an age, although faded, and one newer green pair that didn't 🤷♂️. Maybe the material has changed. I'd buy something else for regular riding.

These swrve shorts are so durable, comfortable and genuinely look nice https://www.swrve.co.uk/collections/shorts/products/lightweight-wwr-reguler-short-1. The hem rolls up nicely if they hang a bit long. They are synthetic not cotton. Better than my rapha pairs, especially the pockets. My randonnee shorts have zippered pockets which is dumb. Technical shorts shouldn't have side / chino pockets with zip, just need top down pockets (swrve have these)

Anyone got the Randonee shorts or the trouser version and can tell me about their longevity?
The Cambium saddles I’m running on most of my bikes seem to be killing H&M chinos and the like pretty quickly so reticent you drop £90 on shorts if they’re going to be through in the crotch before summer hits.
