Endura Hummvee Short Recommendations

Has anyone tried these:

http://www.pedalon.co.uk/acatalog/en...umvee_3_4.html

They look perfect for my requirements, but I can't decide which size.
There's usually a fair bit of variation depending on the cut. In
trousers, I'm a 36" waist, 6'4" and 15 stone and a few pounds
depending.

Any personal experience gratefully received, and if anyone knows a
supplier around Derby/Nottingham/Matlock/Chesterfield, even better

I have a pair of the Humvee shorts, and think they're great. Never
tried the 3/4s, though I've been tempted.


I'm a 6'4" 38" fat*******, and the XXL fits fine; if anything they're
*slightly* large, which is the right side to be. The elasticatory stuff
is pretty forgiving in any case.

As it happens I live within moderately easy reach of all of those
places, and can't think offhand of a local supplier; I got mine from
Wiggle.


A bit of a long way to go for a pair of trousers ;-) but if you fancy a
nice day out in West Yorkshire, you could go to All Terrain Cycles at
Saltaire - I was looking at Humvee 3/4s in their shop just a couple of
days ago!

Ah, sounds like XL may be the way to go then, thanks. Saltaire is
about 90 mins from where I live, but I don't mind a drive out. Thanks.

I'm 36" waist, and I'm very sure I have the XL size which fits fine.
They have a bit of give in them anyway.

I've the same waist as you and the XL's fit fine. The wee belt they
come with isn't much good and I switched it out for one I already had.
I got mine from chainreactioncycles for 40 quid about 6 months back
and they're still good.

Had a pair for over a year now. Leg length seems a bit short (but I
have relatively long legs) and I gave up using the velcro to stop them
riding up over my knees (recumbent riding) and rigged up an adjustable
elasticated hem, which works fine. Generally very pleased with them,
though.

Not really. The removable liner is a bit chunky - like having a loaf of
bread between your legs, but I didn't think it felt too tight. I tend
to just use normal short liners anyway.

not the padding which is a bit chunky though seems to do the job well
but the elastic on the legs which isn't loose enought.
